Insurance

Self-Pay Process

The Champlain Center is a private pay practice. We value the privacy of our clients and have chosen not to participate in insurance panels. In doing this, we are not required to provide diagnostic codes that remain on a child’s permanent mental health record. Since we are not required to serve the interests of the insurance companies, at the expense of client care, we are able to better serve the children and families we work with by providing highly personalized services that are comprehensive, evidence-based and holistic.

Payment is required at the time of treatment. We accept cash, checks or credit card.

Out-of-Network Reimbursement

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network coverage, we can provide documentation (using an ICD-10 or DSM V code that indicates a diagnosis is being deferred) for reimbursement of session fees. Full payment is required at time of treatment, and then you will submit the documentation to your insurance company. Your insurance provider will reimburse you directly.

We encourage you to call your insurance company to confirm your out-of-network percentage of reimbursement before scheduling the free consultation. You may also consider using Thrizer to help you navigate your out of network benefits.

Sliding Fee Scale

We recognize the value of play therapy and strive to make our services as accessible as possible. We are proud to partner with Open Path Collective to hold several spots at a lower rate. If the cost of play therapy is prohibitive for your family, please reach out to us about sliding fee scale options.

Medicaid (Dr. Dynasaur)

Because we are a private-pay practice, we cannot treat children on any Medicaid plans.

Please contact the Dept. of Vermont Health Access to request a list of approved mental health providers who are in your network.
