Fees, Policies, and Insurance
Provider
All psychotherapy services are provided by Dr. Daniel Jonathan Meckel, a licensed psychotherapist in Annapolis, MD. All sessions are conducted in-person unless otherwise arranged.
Session Frequency and Length
Individual and Couples sessions – 45 minutes.
Individuals and couples are usually seen once or twice weekly.
Hourly Fees
Individual therapy – $275, reduced fee if more than two times weekly.
Couples therapy – $325
Payment: Clients agree to pay at each individual or couple session. I accept payment by check
(payable to Daniel Jonathan Meckel), cash, Venmo (@Daniel-Meckel) or Zelle (301-904-8450). I accept credit card payments with an additional $10 processing fee for each transaction.
Cancellation Policy
With prior notice, a client may cancel up to 4 sessions in a calendar year without being charged. Any cancellation that can be rescheduled within one week will not count toward the 4 session annual limit. Beyond the 4 allowed, cancellations for any reason that cannot be rescheduled will be charged (this includes cancellations resulting from work responsibilities, vacations, etc.). In addition, clients will be charged for any individual or couple session missed without notice (aka “no show”). Please note that charges for missed or cancelled sessions are not insurance reimbursable.
Holidays and “Snow Days”
Sessions will NOT occur on: New Year’s Day, MLK, Jr. Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Even when the federal government closes due to weather, the office will remain open unless otherwise notified.
Using Insurance
I am not affiliated with any insurance provider. Clients who wish to use insurance should check with their provider to determine coverage for “out-of-network” outpatient mental health services. When using insurance, clients agree to pay the full fee up front and then seek reimbursement from the insurance provider. Clients are responsible for tracking insurance claims. Regardless of whether one uses insurance, each client is ultimately responsible for all fees incurred.
