Regular Hours

Counseling Fee
Fee:  $90 per 50-minute session.

Sliding fee:  If you feel you cannot afford the fee of $90 per 50-minute session, then calculate the sliding fee for each session as follows:  divide your annual gross income for all wage earners in the household during the most recent tax year by the number 1000.  This will give you the sliding fee for each 50-minute session.  Example:  if the gross annual income for all wage earners in the household is $40,000, then divide it by 1000, and the sliding fee is $40 for each session.  A minimum fee of $25 is requested per 50-minute session.

Payment
Payment is made at the time of the session.

Payment options:

• Self Pay (cash, check, VISA/MC)
• Health Savings Account/Flex Account

Insurance Information
A common question is, "Do you accept insurance?"  I do not work directly with insurance companies in an effort to facilitate client privacy, flexibility, and control of their counseling services.  Instead, I provide the necessary paperwork for you to submit a claim to your insurance company.  If you choose to submit a claim to your insurance company, I am required to enter a diagnosis on the billing slips.  If this is the case, I will discuss your diagnosis with you.  I recommend you contact your insurance company prior to the counseling session to verify mental health benefits. 

Common questions to ask your insurance provider include:

• Do I have mental health benefits?
• Does my plan cover services by Christine Ubben, MA, LPC, LAMFT?
• How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
• Do mental health services apply towards my deductible?
• How much is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?
