To schedule your first appointment, please use the Request an Appointment form or contact me by email to briefly discuss how I may be able to assist you with your goals and schedule your first appointment.
Initial Paperwork
Prior to your first appointment you will be asked to provide me with your email address so that I can email you a secure link to a client portal. Once you log in, you will be able to read over and electronically sign a number of forms, fill out a brief intake and submit the documents to me confidentially through the portal. You will need to submit this paperwork before your first appointment. Please have with you a list of your medications, and your credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amer. Express accepted).
Interview and Assessment
Your first appointment will involve a more thorough assessment of your complete history (family history, medical history and treatment history). We will discuss your current symptoms, concerns, strengths, resources and treatment goals for you to work on in counseling.
Payment
Payment for your counseling sessions are due at the time of your appointment. Payment for counseling sessions and any related fees is the responsibility of the client. Renovatus Counseling and Consulting, LLC does not bill for services rendered. Payment due is expected in full in order for the next session to be scheduled.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
Effective January 1, 2022, Notice to clients and prospective clients:
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including mental health counseling services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
