Frequently Asked Questions
Appointments
The standard meeting time for therapy is 60 minutes. It is up to you, however, to determine the length of your sessions. Our therapists are happy to help you decide a session length that best fits your needs.
Insurance
We understand that insurance benefits can be confusing, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding insurance. If you choose to use insurance, we are currently an in-network provider with the following:
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Cigna
HealthPartners
Medica
Medicaid/Medical Assistance
Mayo/Medica
Optum
PreferredOne
Tricare
Ucare
United Behavioral Health
United Healthcare
Please know that your insurance company may not cover the entire session fee, and you are responsible for any co-payments, deductible amounts, and any costs not covered by your insurance plan.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133), healthcare providers must give clients who do not have insurance (or are not using insurance) an estimate of expected costs.
This Good Faith Estimate shows costs reasonably expected for your care. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for any non-emergency services, including related costs like tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
If a bill exceeds your estimate by $400 or more, you can dispute it.
Providers must give the Good Faith Estimate within the following timeframes:
-
If scheduled ≥3 business days before appointment: within 1 business day
-
If scheduled ≥10 business days before appointment: within 3 business days
-
If requested without scheduling: within 3 business days
Cancellations
The time you agree to meet with your therapist is set aside just for you. If you have to cancel for any reason (except for a true unforeseen emergency), a 48-hour notice by phone, email, or portal is required to avoid being charged a flat rate of $75 for your missed appointment.

Paying for Therapy
The cost of services will vary depending on the type of service provided. Prior to your first appointment, you may schedule a meeting with our Practice Administrator to review Flourish Counseling Center's billing policies and answer any questions you may have. This conversation is also an opportunity for you to discuss personalized billing arrangements.
Flourish offers both insurance and self-pay options to help you get the care you need. Flourish requires a credit card on file for all charges not covered by insurance. The amount owed is charged 7 days after invoicing.
If you need to make other payment arrangements, contact our practice administrator by phone at

Self-pay removes focus from the billable service and allows for greater flexibility to incorporate various care approaches at your request
