Payments

Payment can be made in via credit card, or Snapscan in my office after the session.
Alternatively, you can make payments via EFT or Snapscan from home after receiving the weekly statement. Please make payments promptly after receiving your weekly statement. This ensures that outstanding amounts do not becomes unmanageable and assists in keeping therapy accessible. If paying from home, payment is expected before the next appointment and I reserve the right to cancel a follow-up appointment if payment has not been received in time.
For EFT payments please use the following bank accounts:

Gold Business Account
Account Number: 627 6472 4409
Please use your surname and your account number as a reference so that the payment can be allocated to your account.
Medical aid schemes
We do not submit invoices directly to Medical Aid schemes. Medical aid schemes differ in the amount they contribute towards psychological services and most have an annual allocation. It is your responsibility to establish what benefits your Medical Aid offers.
Payments by a third party
If your account will be paid for by a third party, like your parents, or where you are not the main member on the medical aid, we will have to get explicit permission from them to send them an invoice. If this is the case, please provide the contact details of the person responsible for payment (including an email address) so that we can send the necessary consent form.
Payment by a third party will not impact on confidentiality of the consent of the sessions, but they will be informed about when you attend sessions and if you miss a booked session. It will be your responsibility to discuss with the person paying the account how you will handle appointments missed without adequate notice.
Final responsibility for payment
Payment of the account is ultimately your responsibility, and you are liable for any amount in your account. I am unable to continue seeing clients with outstanding fees on their account and reserve the right to cancel a booked appointment if payment has not been received.
Unpaid Accounts
Any unpaid account will be handed over to a debt collection agency for recovery of debt after 60 days. The person responsible for the account will be liable to pay the legal costs payable in this event.
Cancellation policy
Cancellations or changes in session times are inconvenient and disrupt the therapeutic process. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy to discourage unnecessary changes to the appointment routine.
If you cannot attend a scheduled appointment for an unavoidable reason, please cancel your appointment at least 24 hours before the appointment is scheduled (before the confirmation email is sent, the day before).
All appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at the full rate.
Prescribed minimum benefits (PMB) conditions
Some Medical Aid schemes offer additional benefits for certain chronic conditions, called PMB conditions. Medical Aids may pay for additional sessions on completion of an application form. The list of the psychiatric conditions that are designated as PMB conditions is available from your medical aid. Please note that these sessions can only be used for certain procedure codes and only apply to individual therapy for the person diagnosed with the particular psychiatric condition. These benefits are not applicable for the procedure codes used for couple, parenting, family or group therapy.
Please discuss with me if you think you meet criteria for one of these conditions and you want to apply for this additional cover. Please note that we do not apply for cover for a PMB condition until the assessment phase is complete (usually 3 sessions) and you will be responsible for paying the sessions during this assessment phase.
Where you have already been diagnosed with a diagnosis which makes you eligible for PMB cover, please furnish me with the name of the professional who made the diagnosis, the diagnosis (including the ICD10 code) and date of the diagnosis. I require this information to apply for the relevant PMB cover.
