Private insurance and cash-paying clients may pay for services with cash, check, debit or credit card (VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express). $80 per 60-minute hour is the normal fee for services.  Fees for services are due at the time the service is rendered.

Adult or senior substance abusers, of legal or illegal substances, must be clean and sober before services can begin at Beth Powell's In-Family Services. Questions must be answered honestly on the Caregiver Biography regarding substance use. If Beth Powell determines that substance use has exceeded use and is instead abuse or dependency, then her services will be terminated.

Clients may be reminded of their appointments. Healthcare providers cannot bill a client’s insurance for no-show or late cancelled appointments. Missed appointments (no-shows) are billed in full to the cash-paying or private insurance client. A credit card number is given at the time the appointment is made to ensure proper cancellation or postponement of scheduled services.  Appointments must be cancelled 24 hours ahead of time. 

For Medicaid and Medicare clients, no credit card number is required pre-visit to ensure that the visit is cancelled or postponed appropriately; however, if a session is not cancelled or postponed appropriately, then service will not be rescheduled.
