Appointments are available Monday through Thursday. Day and evening appointments are available. Please call me or email me to schedule an appointment. Session fees are: $80 for individuals and $90 for couples and families. Sliding fees are also available. This is a fee based on income.
I currently do not accept insurance, however there are some insurances with plans that will reimburse clients for an out-of-network provider. You can call me for more information on how this works.
If you wish to have payment reimbursed you will need to do a few things first. Payment is usually reimbursed by PPO Healthcare plans. If you have a PPO you can call the number on the back of your insurance card. You will want to find out these questions when you call.
1. Does my plan cover out of network providers?
2. Do I have a deductible for out of network providers?
3. What is the percentage of the providers fee that I will get reimbursed? Often PPOs will give you back a percentage of the cost of the fee. For example; If you have a 20% deductible then you would end up paying in the end $64 for each individual session because the insurance will send you a check for the difference.
4. Will it be necessary for the therapist to give me a mental health diagnosis in order to be reimbursed?
Note: If you are using reimbursement through your insurance then you will pay the cost of the session up front. I will give you a receipt with which you can send into the insurace for reimbursement. Also note that it will be up to you to determine the benefits and eligibility of your plan for reimbursement. I am happy to answer questions at any time!
I accept cash, personal checks, cashiers checks, credit or debit card payments. Credit or debit cards must have a Visa or Mastercard logo.
I also accept Paypal payments if you have a Paypal account. If you do not have an account you may sign up for one at the time that you pay. Please print your receipt and bring it with you to session for payment verification. Please also note that a charge may appear on your credit card or bank account statement that reads Cheryl Fink, LMFT or Cornerstonemodesto. This is important to be aware of due to confidentiality. If you have concerns please feel free to discuss them with me.
TO PAY WITH PAYPAL:
1. Choose the correct option. There are options for sliding fees that have been previously discussed with me prior to your first session. Follow the directions and you're done in a snap!
