What to expect on your first appointment

  1. Children 17 and younger need to be accompanied by a Parent and / or Legal Guardian. **NO EXCEPTIONS**
  2. Please arrive 15 minutes prior for new patient appointments. 

New Patients will be scheduled for a Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment (CDA) which is approximately 1 ½ hours in duration, with a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. This appointment is a set of evaluation procedures administered to obtain information about the person’s development, learning, memory, academics, behavior, and mental health. This assessment is vital in allowing your provider(s) the ability to establish an accurate treatment plan

Legal Services Disclaimer

Pearl Health Clinic staff does not complete parental fitness or custody exams. Assessments for legal purposes are typically not covered by most insurance companies and are associated with a fee schedule separate from the mental health fee schedule. All requests for services in legal contexts will be reviewed and may be declined at discretion of the Pearl Health Clinic Clinical Director or individual clinicians. Pearl Health Clinic staff charge for any testimony provided in a legal context, even when original services were rendered as part of mental health treatment. 

Appointment Cancelation/No Show Policy

Effective 1/1/2023, any client who cancels an appointment within 3 hours of the scheduled appointment or fails to arrive within 15 minutes of the appointment time is considered a “no-show.” If you do not cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 3-hour notice, we may assess a $25.00 “No Show” service charge to your account. This “No Show charge” is not reimbursable by your insurance company. You will be billed directly for it. After three (3) consecutive No Shows, Pearl Health Clinic may decide to end its relationship with you and you will need to transfer care to another provider.

This includes any unpaid balances, after contractual adjustments (if applicable). Providing PHC with current and accurate insurance information will allow us to obtain the quickest response from your insurance. Your insurance may not cover services at the same rates as other participating providers. Some insurance plans require that the patient contact them for Prior Authorization. Failure to contact them, as required, may result in you being responsible for the full amount of your charges.
For Minor Patients or those with Legal Guardians: The Parent/Guardian and/or Guarantor is responsible for the payment (and all balances due), at the time of treatment. Unaccompanied Minors MUST have pre-authorization, from the Parent/Guardian. Please note that statements will only be sent to the Responsible Party, as indicated on the Patient’s Intake. If you have a credit balance, a refund check will be issued to you immediately. *For plan Specific information, please contact your insurance carrier, directly.
