FEES & INSURANCE
Initial Consultation – $200
We charge $200 for our initial 60-minute consultations. This is not an intake process, but a means for us to meet and determine if neurotherapy is the appropriate course of action for the presenting problem. During this initial meeting, we explain the nature of neurotherapy, the modalities used (i.e. neurostimulation and neuromodulation), and answer any questions the client may have. We take this time with clients initially, because many people who are interested in neurofeedback do not understand what it is or what it does.
To book an initial consult with us, please contact our office at 530-417-7105 or via email and we will find a time that’s suitable.
Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) and Report – $950
Quantitative EEG, or “brain mapping” is a way of assessing the operation and functionality of the client’s brain with the comparison of normative and clinical databases, and the processing of 20 minutes of brainwaves (EEG) recording. EEG is the measurement, using digital technology, of electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp which primarily reflect brainwave activity on the cortex (the “ bark” of the brain). Neurotherapists use this knowledge to adjust cerebral function towards ideals with operant conditioning, counseling, and neuromodulation. Brain mapping is analyzing the electrical activity or “brainwaves.”
This process involves two office visits (one for EEG acquisition and a follow up review), as well as a highly customized report, reflecting the state of the art assessment and analysis software at Neurofield, written by either Dr. Dogris or Dr. Thompson. We do not buy “canned” reports generated by software programs, but rather pride ourselves on composing individualized reports accessible to the lay person and client.
Insurance
We are a non-medically licensed practice who does not accept any insurance. All of our services are paid out of pocket, when services are rendered, and are non-billable to any insurance carrier.
Single Sessions – $150
One session costs $150 USD and lasts for the duration of one hour — however occasionally they are shorter, depending on the demands of the brain and body. We offer sliding scale fees to some individuals who are in economic hardship.
We recommend that you attend a minimum of 10 sessions to have an opportunity to experience progress toward your goals. Neurostimulation is less like medication and more like a training regimen in noticing effects. Although most people see improvement within 1-5 sessions, some are late responders. It is reasonable to expect a 50% improvement and usually more to your most troubling problems with a full course of 20 sessions.
Progress is best when we see you on or around the same day at the same time each week. This is easiest if you establish a regular appointment schedule. Our 4:00pm time slots are the most popular so please be aware of this. If you need a late afternoon appointment, we recommend that you book your appointments early and in advance as possible.
Please be prepared to pay for services at the time services are rendered. For your convenience, we accept cash, personal check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover Card and American Express. We also accept digital payments via PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle.
Intensives
The intensive training is the most economical and effective of our treatment series, appropriate for out-of-town clients or for those that are suffering from moderate to severe pathologies.
Our intensive costs $4,450 and generally lasts 2-4 weeks. Included in the price are:
· The cost of the Initial Evaluation, Pre-Treatment BrainMap, and detailed QEEG Report/Analysis
· 20 training sessions
· 2 subsequent brain maps
· 2 brain map reviews by our Doctor mentors, Dr. Dogris or Dr. Thompson
Based upon the initial assessment, intake, and EEG / QEEG, we will often recommend the best treatment schedule for the client and symptomology at hand.
This training intensive generally lasts 2-4 weeks consisting of daily treatments for the first two weeks, and either titrating back to 3x weekly sessions or continuing for another round of daily sessions depending upon the doctor’s recommendation.
If finances are the client’s ultimate barrier to treatment, a sliding scale is possible. For more information, send your questions to us or call our office at 530-417-7105 to schedule an Initial Consultation to see if this is the proper course of action for you.
Why is the intensive model the best?
Consider the analogy of going to the gym. Your brain on daily neurotherapy is akin to your body on daily gym routine. The results you see come quickly, they are noticeable, and desired changes happen rapidly. An intensive training regimen will typically manifest improvements within the individual that are noticeable within the first few sessions. Progress is a steady build throughout the course of training and, near the end of treatment, results begin to plateau. This plateauing marks the final phase of neurotherapy, called the “cementing” phase and is necessary for changes to become more or less permanent.
Neurostimulation is similar to a cardio vascular workout in its immediate effects. The combination of neurostimulation and neuromodulation is a complete training regimen that speeds up the progress and the duration of treatment.
