About Fees and Insurance

     Dr. Martin's fees for individual counseling are as follows:

Initial evaluation session (90+ minutes): $200

Regular counseling sessions (50 minutes): $150

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not offer benefits for marriage counseling. The above fees apply for marriage counseling sessions, but are out-of-pocket.

     The fee structure is for office visits only. Dr. Martin does not offer any form of online or e-mail counseling.

     If you will be using health insurance, we will be happy to obtain your exact insurance benefits, including deductibles and co-payments Sometimes the experience of contacting an insurance office for information is difficult and complicated, and we have become experts at this process. Most new clients want to know this information before their initial appointment so they will know what payment will be expected at time of services.

     As a courtesy to our clients, we will gladly complete and file your insurance claims. We will wait for payment from the insurance company for your insurance benefits. We ask that you make your co-payment at time of services. If your deductible has not been met for the year, we ask that you pay for services until your deductible has been met.

     Dr. Martin is a preferred provider for many insurance companies and most MCO's, PPO's, and POS's. By using a preferred provider, you obtain maximum benefits and the lowest copayment possible. He is being added to new insurance provider panels every month. Some, but not all, insurance panels he is currently on are:

Blue Cross, Aetna, and Medicare.

     Please note that insurance provider panels change frequently, and the above list might not be completely up to date. Your insurance plan might very well be covered even though it is not listed above. The only way to know accurately is to let us make a call to your insurance company. We invite inquiries and we can give you the very latest information. If you have any questions about fees or insurance coverage, please call Dr. Martin's office.
