The times, heavily influenced by the Covid pandemic, are, as Dylan stated, "a changin'". With changing times comes the need to survive, adapt, and move forward. This requirement of adaptation applies to our daily lives and equally to our businesses. As a small business owner striving for success, I have come to the realization that my business model must change. Therefore, effective 02/24/2021, I am moving services to a telehealth priority model using secure and encrypted platforms to continue providing high quality professional counseling services. I'll more fully detail this decision later under "Loose Thoughts."
*** Telehealth Conferencing Now The Priority Model***
Professional, confidential one on one, couple, and family addictions counseling is available to help end the pain and stress associated with alcoholism and other drug addictions. Counseling begins with accurate assessment, followed by services based upon the American Association of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria. When outpatient services are not indicated by the assessment, every effort is made to connect consumers to the proper higher level of care. Services are typically covered by insurance coverage including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medcost, Coventry, Cigna and others.
State and Court mandated DWI assessment services are available for both pre and post Court related individuals. Assessment fees are set by the State of N.C. at $100.00. All assessments are based upon NC DHHS standards utilizing ASAM criteria. Each individual is referred to one of five intervention levels in order to meet Court requirements and regain driving privileges. Assessments are by appointment only. Please note: DWI assessments are not sufficient for child custody cases.
As a member of EAN (Employee Assistance Network), Assessments By Yount is available for both self-referral and supervisory referrals for work related issues and impairment in job functioning. Self-referrals may be made directly or through the company Human Resource Department.
Effective 06/15/2020: All DWI assessment related services require a non-refundable prepayment. The ongoing last minute cancellation of scheduled appointments and consumers simply not showing up has put an unsustainable financial pressure on my counseling service. I will now TENTATIVELY schedule a DWI assessment appointment and invoice the potential consumer for the NON-REFUNDABLE fee for the service. This fee must be paid within 48 hours of the invoice or the time slot will be released to another consumer. If the fee is paid and the appointment is not cancelled a minimum of 24 hours in advance OR if the consumer simply doesn't show up, the fee will not be returned. Any future scheduling requires a NEW prepayment of an additional non-refundable fee.
Current fee schedule for DWI assessment services:
DWI assessment - $100.00
Out of State DWI review - $210.00
In-State DWI review - $210.00
NC DWI In-State Reassessment - $100.00
NC DMV lifetime history report - $10.75
Payment of fees for general counseling services will follow a similar invoicing process. A rescheduling fee of $50.00 will be required for any general counseling services wherein a consumer either fails to provide a minimum of 24 hours notice of cancellation or does not appear for the appointment. Insurance co-pays will be invoiced or other agreements reached on an individual consumer basis.
