Self Pay Rates:   

As of February 1, 2024, rates are as follows:

Initial session/assessment is 50 minutes and $240

Longer sessions can be provided and prorated per 15 minute increments ($53/15 minutes) and advance notification will be provided for any fee changes.

Fees for completing paperwork, writing letters, etc will also be billed at the same clinical rate. We will do our best to complete these things during session with the client when possible.

In-office sessions available in San Diego, California

Chudy Counseling Services believes that everyone should have access to mental health care. Therefore, we have some spaces available for reduced fees for those who can not afford the full fee. We encourage you to contact us at 630-631-8486 to discuss this further.

CCS accepts cash, HSA/flex spending cards, and check or credit card payments. Payment is due at the time of service, and secured online storage of credit card information for automatic, recurring processing is the recommended payment method.

Chudy Counseling Services is also a part of the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective and can accept these discounted patients on a limited basis. For more information on the program check out Open Path Psychotherapy Collective

Insurance:

CCS is not in-network with any insurance. I will provide a superbill to you if you would like to submit to your insurance company to use your out-of-network benefits.

Sue is an approved therapist for Lyra EAP. If your employer offers this, your sessions with me will be covered. Please contact Lyra to set up sessions!

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

  • Do I have out of network mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session and do I have a copay?

  • Is precertification required?


Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
