Health Insurance & Fees
Fees vary depending on the service provided and, for psychological evaluations, the type and scope of testing needed. We will provide information about expected costs before services begin. Please contact our office for current fees and insurance information.
A $40 deposit is required to schedule an initial appointment. Your deposit will be applied to your copayment or other fees. If you are fully covered, your deposit will be refunded to you after your first appointment.
Using Health Insurance With Us
Etheridge Psychology participates with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. We also accept self-pay patients. Fees vary depending on the service provided and, for psychological evaluations, the type and scope of the evaluation.
Before an evaluation, we will provide you with information about your estimated financial responsibility based on the insurance benefit information available to us. Insurance benefit information is not a guarantee of payment or coverage, and your final responsibility is determined by your insurance company when your claims are processed.
Patients are responsible for amounts not paid by insurance in accordance with their insurance plan and our financial policies.

Good Faith Estimate
If you do not have health insurance or do not plan to use your insurance to pay for services, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care.
Under federal law, healthcare providers must provide uninsured and self-pay patients with an estimate of the expected charges for scheduled services. You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling an appointment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the bill.
For questions or to request a Good Faith Estimate, please contact Etheridge Psychology at 919-600-4906.
