Office Policies
Appointments
Clients are seen on an appointment basis, and every session is conducted via telehealth, unless special arrangements are made in advance. Each appointment is a 60 minute session, and that time has been specifically reserved for you. A normal session actually varies from 35 to 55 minutes. Please be prompt. If you are late, you will be seen only for the time remaining in your scheduled appointment. If I am late, I will see you for the entire session. If you cannot make your scheduled appointment, please call at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule. The full fee will be charged for all appointments missed or cancelled without 24 hour notice.
Fees
Charges for services are set in accordance with the accepted standards of the profession. My fee is $160.00 per 60 minute session. Payment is due when services are rendered. If this is not possible, please discuss this with me during your session. The fee for the Initial Consultation is $200.00, and the fee for Marital or Family sessions is $165.00. Fees for Testing and Assessment are available upon request.
Insurance
All charges are your responsibility whether your insurance pays or not. Not all services and diagnoses are a covered benefit in all contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily select certain services they will not cover.
If you plan to use your health insurance to reimburse a portion of my fee, please give your insurance information to my office manager. Insurance is filed as a courtesy to you at no extra charge and does not relieve you of the responsibility of your bill. Payment of fees to me is your responsibility. I will be happy to assist you with any insurance problems.
If I am a network provider for your specific insurance company, you will owe only the portion not paid by the insurance company.
Please remember that, if you use insurance, confidentially and privacy cannot be insured once the claim is submitted to your insurance company. Full private payment by you avoids this risk.
Therapeutic Policies
Dr. Graybill will provide you with a comprehensive assessment of your problem. He will make explicit the goals of your therapy or evaluation. He will invite you to discuss your progress as we go along. He will keep you informed as to the progress he perceives, and he will discontinue therapy as soon as maximum benefits have been achieved. Please terminate your therapy during a scheduled appointment.
Telephone/Emergency Services
My office manager works Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. All other times and if Dr. Graybill is with an appointment or out of the office, his answering machine will be on. Please leave your message, and the office will return your call as soon as possible. He has chosen an answering machine rather than an answering service to ensure confidentiality. Dr. Graybill works Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:30am until 4:00pm; he is NOT available for emergency or crisis calls at other times. In those instances in which there is a crisis, call 911, St. Francis Hospital Muskogee Emergency Room (918-682-5501), Green County Behavioral Health Crisis Line (918-682-8407), the Oklahoma Mental Health Crisis line 988, or the Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255).
