Policies & Procedures

Payment

After each interview/session at CNLD, you will receive an itemized statement of services. Please plan to pay at the time of service. If you need to make alternative payment arrangements or need to work out a payment plan, please discuss this with the clinic director at the initial interview; therapy clients should discuss this with their therapist.

Insurance Reimbursement

Payment is expected at the time of service. We can providecodes to you in advance of your initial meeting so you can find out what portionof our services may be covered in your policy. We will provide you with an itemizedstatement of services after each appointment that will include appropriate procedure,diagnosis, and billing codes for your insurance company. Once you have paid the CNLD invoice, you will receive a copy of it, marked "paid." You may then submit this invoice to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Almost a year and a half ago you diagnosed Josh with Asperger's syndrome. Our family will never forget you and your staff's kindness, knowledge and sincere efforts to help us with our "journey."

Your report was detailed and thoughtful on how to understand and assist Josh. Thank you. You really did make that "first step" of discovery feel hopeful.
