The fee for a 90-minute intake session with Dr. Kilgore is $350. Subsequent 55-minute sessions are $225. Longer or shorter times can be scheduled as necessary. I will also charge for my time to complete forms or prepare reports depending on the complexity and time required. Most people see me on a weekly or every two-week schedule.

The frequency of sessions is your choice.

I am in-network with Aetna, Medicare, Triwest, and Tricare. For everyone else, I'm private pay, and here;s why many people prefer that.

Private Pay Advantages

Self-pay means you do not need a diagnosis to begin or to benefit from therapy. Paying out of pocket allows you to maintain control of your treatment and protects your privacy as nothing about your treatment included in your insurance record. Some clients, for example those applying for life or disability insurance, prefer to keep it out. In nearly all cases, insurance companies pay only for medically necessary treatment, and require a diagnosis of mental illness.

You and I can decide together how often to meet, for how long, and what to work on. Insurance companies can limit the number of sessions, or make decisions about whether treatment or evaluations will be paid for. Some types of therapy, marital therapy, e.g., are routinely disallowed.

​

Payment policy

Please note that I am on the Aetna, Triwest, Tricare, and Medicare insurance panels only. Policy holders will pay 

their normal co-pay amount, if required, after the yearly deductible is met. 

For everyone else, I am out-of-network. You will receive all the information necessary to file a claim for reimbursement. Many plans reimburse part of the cost, and most insurers usually pay within 15 to 30 days. Before your first session, ask your insurere about out-of-network mental health benefits, what your deductible is, and what percentage they reimburse. 

 

I accept payment via VISA, MasterCard, HSA and FSA cards, check, Venmo, and cash.
