Fees

VTAC operates on a fee-for-service basis, with a fee scale that adjusts depending on your individual or family financial situation. We do not accept third-party payers as a form of payment, but can assist clients with paperwork for their own reimbursement when approved.

• Any clinicial service standard fee is $50/hour
• Diagnostic Assessment standard fee is $500

Our standard fee for clinical services is $50 per hour, but our scale adjusts to a minimum of $3 per hour for clients with significant financial hardship or extremely limited incomes. Our standard fee for a Diagnostic Evaluation for Autistic Spectrum Disorders is $500 but also can be adjusted based on sliding fee scale.

Other Assessments are set on an individual basis depending on the testing protocol that will be used.

Our fees are generally less than half of the usual and customary fees charged by private practitioners, hospitals, or health agencies. We will work with you to find a fee that meets your financial needs, so please contact us if you would like to discuss your specific situation.
