Fees For Services 

General Fee Infomation
The introductory session is billed at $160 as a diagnostic session and for file setup.  When insurance is used, patients are billed at $140/session (45-50 minutes) for consulting or counseling/psychotherapy, and at $160/hour (50 minutes) for most testing and report writing.  Some tests have higher flat fees.  When insurance is not used, the patient and therapist determine all  treatment and evaluation needs.  In such cases, no insurance contacts are made by the office staff, no third-party forms are completed, no insurance billing is done, and no diagnosis is released.  Patients or families of child patients are responsible for all fees at the time of service, unless Dr. Roberson is a member of the insurance plan used, and then a copay is required.
 
Special Fee Information
Reduced rates, when no insurance is used, are sometimes available.  Special arrangements with churches are also made for reductions in rates when patients consult with pastors first, and then with Dr. Roberson.  Controversial cases involving questions of child visitation, depositions, court appearances, and school visits are billed at $200/hour (45-50 minutes).  Brief telephone conversations are not billed, but the regular hourly rate may apply to some telephone sessions and for lengthy or frequent therapeutic calls.  When Dr. Roberson is asked to read lengthy articles/records, the patient may be billed at the regular hourly rate.
