In reply to Therapists who do not negotiate fees?, posted by Looney Tunes on July 20, 2008, at 13:01:43
My pdoc fees are quite higher than what you've quoted, and my insurance pays a pittance. He refuses to negotiate--I tried when I started to see him twice a month. He told me he had raised his fee since I started, but he did agree to roll back the 3% yearly increase. One of his boundaries again.
My T costs a little less than what you quoted. I tell her she should raise her fees, compared to what I pay my pdoc, but she wisely said her patients can't afford it.
Neither one deals with insurance, unless it's a med issue with my pdoc (which there are plenty).
W/my pdoc, it's another thing that's difficult to deal with. I think he's money hungry!
