Please remember that appointments must be cancelled with at least 24 hours' notice. If you wish to reschedule your appointment, you may do so within the current calendar week (Monday through Friday) without charge. Options for rescheduling within the same week depend on Dr. Behling’s current availability.

SHARING YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

As outlined in the privacy notice you signed during your first meeting with Dr. Behling, federal law prohibits psychologists and other health care providers from sharing information about you without your consent, except in cases where there is suspected maltreatment, risk of harm to self, or danger to others. In Washington State, parents of a child under 13 years of age must sign a release of information form before information can be shared. Clients 13 years of age or older must sign the form.

BILLING

As noted in the fee agreement signed at the beginning of treatment, payment is due at time of service. Clients are asked to provide a payment card (debit, credit, HSA/FSA) during the first appointment for this purpose. If you have a question or concern about a charge on your payment card, please contact Dr. Behling.

Dr. Behling is not currently paneled with any insurance company; however, you may submit invoices from each session for reimbursement at an out-of-network rate once you have met your out-of-network deductible. As reimbursement rates can vary within the same coverage provider, please contact your insurance company to find out more. The current list of CPT® billing codes used in Dr. Behling’s practice and their corresponding fees can be found here.

No SURprises Act

As of January 1, 2022, psychologists and other health care providers are required by law to give self-pay clients a good faith estimate of costs for services that they offer under the No Surprises Act. The amount you pay for services in a given year depends on how frequently you choose to meet with Dr. Behling and any other services provided outside of scheduled sessions (e.g., emails, texts, phone calls where clinical guidance is provided).
