Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) A licensee shall inform clients of the financial arrangements for psychological services. Such financial arrangement(s) should be in writing. If the licensee elects not to provide the financial arrangement(s) in writing, the burden of demonstrating compliance with the regulations in this subchapter shall be on the licensee. The information provided to the client shall include, but not be limited to:

1. The fee for services or the basis for determining the fee to be charged, unless services are provided during an emergency or in other circumstances where disclosure of such information would adversely affect the client's health or welfare;

2. Whether the licensee will accept installment payments or assignment of benefits from a third party payor;

3. Whether Medicaid clients are accepted;

4. Whether Medicare clients are accepted and, if so, if the licensee shall bill the client for any balance remaining after assignment;

5. Any other information, to the extent known to the licensee, concerning insurance coverage, including whether other third party payor plans are accepted; and

6. The financial consequences, if any, of missed sessions.

(b) A supervisor may segregate fees received from clients being treated by the supervisee in recognition of the fact that fees charged to such clients shall be less than the usual, reasonable and customary fees charged by the supervisor to his or her own clients.

(c) Where payment of the usual fee would be a hardship, a licensee may adjust the fee, or shall assist clients to find other sources or make appropriate referrals for provision of the needed services.

(d) All permit holders and licensees shall provide to their clients or their clients' designated insurance carriers, a receipt, when applicable, for services rendered.
