Fees
I offer individualized care for my patients, and thus do not restrict my patients' care to treatment plans created by insurance companies or managed care organizations. As a result, my practice is fee-for-service. The fee schedule for individual and group therapy, as well as diagnostic evaluations, will be reviewed with you when you contact me.
Payment
Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted for payment which I request at the end of each session. For video/Skype sessions, I can also accept Paypal payment.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, or you have not notified me at least 48 hours in advance, you will be asked to pay the full cost of the session.
Inclement Weather Policy
Therapy sessions will remain scheduled unless you are notified by Dr. Kahler. If you do not feel comfortable driving in inclement weather, a phone session is possible in lieu of driving.
Insurance
I am not "in network" with any insurance companies; however, this does not mean that you necessarily have to pay the full fee out-of-pocket. Depending on your health insurance coverage, you may be able to receive a reimbursement for a share of the treatment cost by submitting a claim with your health insurance company.
Please contact your insurance company in order to determine whether you might be able to receive full or partial reimbursements for psychiatric treatment or out-of-network medical care.
