Fee Schedule for 2026

In compliance with the Federal No Surprises Act which went into effect January 1, 2022, here are things you should know:

I am working virtually, exclusively for the foreseeable future.  I’m getting very good results doing EMDR remotely, so that is possible.  My fees are the same for virtual as they would be for in-person sessions.

I’m a private pay practitioner and request payment at time of service, usually through the HIPAA secure payment platform Ivy Pay.  If you have out-of-network coverage with your insurance company, you are welcome to submit the monthly statement I provide for possible reimbursement.  This statement will contain all the information most insurance companies require including a diagnosis.  Prior to the start of treatment, you are responsible to check with your insurance company as to whether or not you have coverage, and to find out if preauthorization of sessions is required.  If so, I will help you with that.  This is the only direct interaction I have with insurance companies.  Please note that even if you are allowed to go out-of-network, coverage for telemental health sessions can be discontinued at the discretion of individual insurance company. 

Please also note that I do not participate with Medicare, Medicare Advantage (even if it is a PPO plan), or Husky.

My fees: 90832 GT  25 minutes            $ 90

                 90834 GT  45 minutes            $170

                 90837 GT  60-75 minutes      $225 (usually needed for EMDR)

                 90853 GT  90 minute group  $ 75 per participant

We will discuss duration of treatment and goal setting periodically.  Clients are free to terminate treatment at any time.

You will be charged 50% of your scheduled fee for cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance. You will be charged your full scheduled fee for “no shows”. Most insurance companies do not reimburse cancelled or missed sessions.

Report and/or letter writing on a client’s behalf is charged at various rates based on length and complexity of the material covered.  I will give you a written estimate in advance of my fee for these services.

Unfortunately, all my reduced fee slots are presently filled.  I do maintain a waiting list for these opportunities.  Reduced fee arrangements are made individually on a case-by-case basis and may require future adjustment over time.

My initial consultation is 75 minutes, charged at my 45 minute rate of $170.  An initial consultation is not a guarantee of acceptance of a prospective client.  If after the consultation either you or I feel the fit is not great, there will be no charge for the session.  In such cases, I do my best to suggest referrals where the fit might be more ideal.  It’s presently about an 8-12 week wait for an initial consultation.

Please also note that I am fully licensed in the state of Connecticut and am provisionally licensed for virtual sessions only in the state of Florida.  Even though sessions are virtual, you must be physically present in either of these states of my licensure at the time of your virtual session.

I’ve been in practice more than 40 years and, for good or ill, I know the sad territory of trauma well.  Most people who work with me report finding understanding, patience, and useful healing approaches.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions I haven’t covered here.  I offer cost-free 15-20 minute preliminary phone consultations to prospective clients. 

I can be reached at (860) 678-8779 or via email drfolks@tappingprayerfully.com.
