Cost and Insurance 

Insurance
 

Fred Co Pediatrics is committed to the mental and physical health of all our patients and their families. Most behavioral health services fall outside of preventive health insurance coverage. At this time, we are in-network with Medicaid, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare insurances only. This means that for all other plans, the cost of the visit is due at the time of service.

​​

Families may choose to submit the cost of services to their insurance for reimbursement. We will provide what is known as a “super bill”. Please note that this requires a diagnosis code. 

 

Cost
 

Most sessions are 45 minutes long. Parents can work with our behavioral health team to decide how often to meet. Once a week or once every two weeks is most common.

 

Initial 15 min phone consultation: No charge. This 15 minute phone discussion is used for getting a brief history and understanding of concerns. Parents will also have the opportunity to ask questions and schedule an initial intake session.

 

Intake: This is the first appointment and can be 60 minutes or longer. A detailed history and assessments will aide in creating a treatment plan. A treatment plan will include goals for your family. These can be amended as needed.

The cost is $250.

 

Sessions: Include a variety of therapeutic approaches including play therapy techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques to support kids and families.

Individual 45 min sessions: $155

Individual 60 min sessions: $195

Family 45 min sessions: $185
