Cheshire Center Payment Contract
Thank you for choosing Cheshire Center! We are committed to your entire experience being successful. We will need complete and accurate payment and insurance information. If you have commercial insurance or are private pay, you will need to speak to our billing specialist in order to have a general understanding of your financial responsibility prior to seeing one of our therapists.

Your account balance is due weekly. We require a form of payment being placed on file prior to services being provided. Payment will be automatically deducted the week after services are provided. Acceptable payment options include Visa, Mastercard, FSA, and Care Credit. Unpaid balances are subject to collections through an outside agency.

Make up visit policy: Plans of care are written based on medical necessity. Should services be missed, make up services will be provided.

Medicaid or NC Healthchoice patients: We do not require a form of payment on file. You are financially responsible for services rendered and a form of payment will be required to continue services should you lose your coverage.

Sometimes your insurance may change during the course of treatment services. You are required to notify us immediately and provide updated information. Our billing specialist may be reached at 336-375-2240.

I have read and understand the payment contract and agree to abide by this policy
Cheshire Center Attendance Policy
Therapy is most successful when the child attends and receives the recommended number of therapy sessions each week per their plan of care. Currently we have a waiting list of patients for our services and therefore must monitor and strictly enforce our attendance policy in order to maximize the time our therapists have available to serve children. POLICY: MISSING THREE OUT OF FIVE scheduled sessions will result in discharge from services. Once a patient has been discharged for attendance, they can not be referred back to our office for services for a minimum of six months and will be subject to our waitlist if applicable at the time. Some exceptions may apply.

Please openly discuss any scheduling conflicts you have with the therapist. Perhaps your current therapist, or another one will have a future opening that would be better for you if they are aware of your preferences. It is imperative to communicate.

We require that you inform the therapist as soon as you know your child will not be available for a therapy session. Ex: upcoming vacations, field trips etc. Given advanced knowledge of such a trip, your therapist may be able to schedule an additional session to make up for the one(s) your child will miss.

Cancellations with a minimum of 24 hours notice is required so that our therapists can efficiently plan their day and accommodate others. We do acknowledge that sometimes life happens and cancellations are unforeseen so please notify your therapist as soon as possible if 24 hours notice is not possible. It is our intention to prevent unnecessary travel and expense on the part of the therapists therefore late cancellations will still count as missed sessions and we require your call/notification even if we see your child in daycare or preschool as sometimes the therapist is traveling to that center for a single session.

Thank you for your cooperation and consideration of our therapists’ time and again for allowing Cheshire Center the opportunity to work with your child. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please call the clinical director, Rebecca Eaton at Cheshire Center: 800-360-1099 or email: reaton@cheshirecenter.net.
