INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Whether you are looking for individual therapy for yourself, or if you are a parent seeking services for you child, Dr. Pagano believes that finding a good fit with a therapist is a critical component to effective psychotherapy. He suggests meeting for 2-3 sessions where he can offer his assessment and treatment recommendations, and where you can assess whether the developing therapeutic relationship feels like a good match for your needs. If not, Dr. Pagano will help direct you to another professional who might better meet your needs.

FEES & INSURANCE
Payment by cash, check or credit card is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. Dr. Pagano is an out-of-network provider for all insurance carriers. If you have a plan that offers out-of-network benefits (many plans do, including most college insurance plans), and would like to use your insurance benefits, he will provide you with a receipt, which you can submit to your insurance company.

It is your responsibility to inquire with your insurance company about your specific benefits for outpatient mental health services, including:

• the specific rate of reimbursement
• any out-of-network deductible that must be met
• how to submit the receipt

Dr. Pagano can discuss with you in person the information you have received from your insurance provider.
