COURSE OF TREATMENT
Biofeedback sessions are usually scheduled once a week for 4-6 weeks. Sessions may last 50 to 90 minutes. I work on time. The current fee schedule is $114 per session, not per hour. Insurance may cover 50-80% depending on diagnosis. I do charge a $25 fee for sessions missed without proper notification. Session frequency will taper over time. I encourage follow-up by appointment or telephone to support practice and continuing improvement over time. Office hours are generally 9am to 5 or 6 pm on Monday through Thursday; I will try to accommodate other scheduling needs as best I can.
Patient receives individualized assessment and instruction in a variety of relaxation skills: EMG, GMR and skin temperature biofeedback instruments promote effective physiological self-regulation.
Referral early in the treatment process involves the patient in learning preventative health care skills.
