PROFESSIONAL FEES

Sam Robison contracts with Child Protective Services (CPS) and accepts insurance only in relation to this specific contract arrangement.

For all non-contracted services (CPS), the hourly fee for a single individual therapy session with Samuel Robison or Heather Robison is $125. The hourly fee for a family therapy session is $200. In addition to therapy appointments, I may charge my standard $125 hourly fee for other professional services you may need, although I will prorate the hourly cost if I work for periods of less than one hour. Other services may include report writing, telephone conversations lasting longer than 15 minutes, attendance at meetings with other professionals you have authorized, preparation of records or treatment summaries, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of me.

Some insurance companies may reimburse part of your therapy expenses if you have out-of-network coverage for behavioral or mental health. Upon request, I am happy to provide you with a receipt that you can include when filing an insurance claim with your insurance company. Out-of-network reimbursement is often contingent on receiving a medical or mental health diagnosis and certain diagnoses may not qualify. I do not accept responsibility for collecting payment from your insurance company and cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed or that you will qualify for a reimbursable diagnosis. Please contact your insurance provider to find out if you have out-of-network coverage and bring any necessary forms to your first appointment.

You will be expected to pay for each session either before or at the time it is held. Payment schedules for other professional services will be agreed to when they are requested. Payment may be made in the form of cash, personal checks, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover). Please sign and return the credit card authorization form and submit payment at the secure payment link on this page prior to or at the beginning of your session. If any amount remains unpaid, no additional sessions will be scheduled until the balance is paid in full.

If you are not a client being served under CPS or another formal contract you are responsible for full payment of my fees. If your account has not been paid for more than 60 days and arrangements for payment have not been agreed upon, I have the option of using legal means to secure the payment. This may involve hiring a collection agency or going through small claims court. If such legal action is necessary, its costs will be included in the claim. In most collection situations, the only information I release regarding a client’s treatment is his/her name, the nature of services provided, and the amount due.

When an appointment hour is scheduled, you will be expected to pay for the session unless you provide 24 hours advance notice of cancellation, except in the case of a personal emergency. If you determine more than 24 hours in advance that you may be unable to attend, please contact me so that you can schedule an alternative time.
