Fees & Payment:
Victoria Harrison charges $200 an hour. People may pay what they can
afford to pay of the fee. Ms. Harrison does not decline to work with
anyone because of financial limitations.
Insurance companies determine their panel of providers based upon a
quota per zipcode area. They do not base their decisions about
providers upon background, training, special expertise, or outcome
evaluation.
Family Health Services is an approved provider for Cigna EAP, Cigna
Behavioral Health, National Employee Assistance Services, Texas True
Choice and self-insured organizations in Houston reimburse a portion of
the fee. If you have Outside of Network coverage, it may be possible to
be reimbursed a portion of the fee by other insurance companies. Ms.
Harrison will apply for provider status with any of the insurance
companies if the Human Relations Department of your employer will
request that her services be available.
Family Health Services will submit insurance statements on a monthly
basis but does not send bills or statements to individuals unless
specifically requested to do so. Individuals are expected to pay the
co-pay or fee at each session or discuss arrangements for payment with
Ms. Harrison at the session.

order to be a resource. Please discuss the charges for missed or
canceled appointments should that be necessary.
