Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Individual Therapy

Potential Clients can complete an Individual Service Contact form on our website, or are referred to Compass Social Skills and Counseling through healthcare providers, school counselors, and other referral services. A referral does not guarantee that Compass is able to accept your insurance, nor does it guarantee that there is a clinician available who accepts your insurance. The Individual Contact Form must be completed and sent to begin the process. Our intake coordinator will respond to your request, and if a clinician is available, guide you through the Intake Process. The potential client will need to contact their insurance provider directly to determine if Compass is in-network, and to determine their financial responsibility for services (co-pay, co-insurance, deductible, etc.) After insurance has been contacted, our Intake Coordinator will set you up on our secure client portal, where you will be required to complete the necessary intake paperwork. When the paperwork is complete, you can be officially scheduled with the clinician.

Most of our clinicians accept a variety of insurances, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, HPHC, Tufts Commercial Plans, UHC, MGB Commercial, and Optum. Not all clinicians accept the same insurances. Our clinicians also accept Private-Pay and Out-Of-Network Benefits if available with your plan.

Yes, however they are subject to a co-pay. For Private-Pay clients, the consultation fee will be prorated. Potential clients must also check their insurance benefits and complete Intake Paperwork prior to scheduling a consultation.

At times, Compass does run a waiting list for some times of day (for example, after-school hours), providers who accept certain insurances, or providers with expertise in certain age groups or with specific therapy goals. If you are interested in services, please complete the Individual Service Contact form. Our Intake Coordinator will then contact you to discuss available options.

Private Pay therapy is $140 per 60 minute session. The cost for a 45 minute private pay session is $105.00.
