The Clinic charges fees for its services.

The therapist who is working with you will talk to you about how much you will be charged for Clinic services. You will sign a fee contract specifying what that fee will be. The fee is usually based on a per-session charge.

Clinical interviews, therapy, and consultation services provided through the KU Child & Family Services Clinic are charged at a rate of not more than $30.00 (top rate) per 50-minute session. These rates also apply to in-home therapy and school-based consultation services. Assessment and testing services are provided at the flat rate of $325.00 for comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations. Group therapy is provided at a rate of $21.00 per 1 1/2 -2 hour session. The time spent in therapy sessions beyond 50 minutes will be charged in 15 minute segments at 25% of the rate per session.

A portion of the fees may be subsidized by the clinic based on your ability to pay. Individual fees may be adjusted according to the caregiver's income and number of dependents. Families who wish to qualify for an adjusted fee must provide proof of their annual income.

How you will be billed.

Payment for services is requested at the conclusion of each session. Under some circumstances an account can be established with the Clinic so that payments are made on a monthly basis; please discuss this option with your therapist. If an account is established, your monthly billing statement will show the following: any remaining balance from previous months, a list of all services and charges during the current billing month, a list of all payments or other credits received during the current billing month, and a remaining balance due. Clients are expected to make some payment toward their clinic bill every 3 sessions at a minimum.

Please notify the Clinic Office if appointments need to be canceled or re-scheduled. Missed appointments will be billed to you if the Clinic Office is not notified at least 24 hours in advance.

What are clinic fees used for?

The Clinic is self-supporting and could not operate without charging fees. The office equipment, all office supplies, the Clinic Testing Library, all Clinic equipment, training materials, and some salaries are paid for through our Clinic. The State does not pay for the Clinic's operation through taxes, as many people may assume.
