Policies

Payment
At the end of our initial consultation (either on phone or in person), Dr. Shaw will set a fee for your sessions. If you agree to the proposed fee, payments will be made at the end of each session by cash, checks, or credit cards. Returned checks will be charged for an additional $25 processing fee.
Cancellation Policy
All scheduled appointments can be cancelled without charge at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. If cancelled less than 24 hours, you will be required to pay the full fee of the session.
Insurance
We do not currently accept insurance and are considered “out-of-network” providers. You may still be able to receive partial reimbursement from your health insurance. If you wish, we can provide you with a statement of services at the end of each month for you to submit to your insurance company. Please call your insurance carrier and ask the following questions: 1) Do I have mental health benefits? If so, what are they? 2) How much will I be reimbursed for an “in-network” and “out-network” provider? 3) How many sessions per year does my insurance cover? 4) What prior approval is needed and what information should I obtain from my provider to get reimbursement before my first meeting?
