[quote=Anonymous] What is the person's licensure in? Social work? Counseling? Psychology? Every organization has a code of ethics and fees are included. Here is a link to the APA's code.http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/. I think your situation falls under "misrepresentation of fees." I would call and explain to your therapist that you would not have come if they had informed you in advance of the new fees. I would then ask them to honor the old agreement of just co-pay for the sessions you had. If they don't comply, I'd call the APA and find out what your rights are as a patient. If it violates the ethical code maybe a rep could call and explain the expectations and potential consequences of charging a new fee without prior notice.[/quote]
