INTERVIEWS:
Before being admitted to a group, a 15-minute phone interview must be completed by the parents to ensure this is an appropriate type of group for you. If both parents will be attending, be prepared to interview together on a conference call or by speaker phone.
WHAT IS THE COST OF ATTENDING GROUP?
If your insurance plan does not cover the cost of the group, the fee is $300 for a single parent, $500 for couples. The sessions run 6 weeks. (A second level of parent training will be offered in the Spring.)
The fee must be paid at the first session; a pro-rated refund is available through week 2.
CAN MY INSURANCE BE BILLED?
Insurance plans vary greatly, but we will be glad to bill your insurance, if possible. We will be glad to verify that information for you. Keep in mind that deductibles need to be met before insurance will actually cover the sessions.
