    POLICIES AND CONSENT TO CONSULTATION SERVICES

    FINANCIAL POLICY Full payment is due at time of service (unless prior arrangements have been made). Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about our financial policy. Understanding our financial policy is important to our relationship. Aubrey & Hugh does not take or accept any Insurance policy for payment. You are responsible for the timely payment of your Account. Uncollected balances may be turned over for collection or reported to the state’s attorney’s office. Payments can be made via PayPal using link: paypal.me/DrWAR or by using the email aubreyandhugh@gmail.com

    CANCELLATION POLICY Please help us to serve you and others better by keeping your scheduled appointments. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer that time to someone else. Unless cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, our policy is to charge for missed appointments at the rate of a normal consultation session. This will be billed to you. We may require prepayment in order to schedule a subsequent appointment.

    CONFIDENTIALITY Federal and State laws protect your confidentiality (See 42 U.S.C. 290dd-3 and 290ee-3 for Federal laws and 42 CFR Part 2, section 33.13 of the Mental Hygiene Law-NY State). Your counselor/coach will not share information with any person outside of Aubrey & Hugh Consulting LLC, without your written permission.

    Exceptions to Confidentiality: Federal regulations do not protect from disclosure of information related to a client’s involvement in a crime against property or personnel. We are required under State law to report suspected abuse of a child, elderly person, or individual with a disability. We may share limited information in the event of a medical emergency or in the event of a specialized court order signed by a judge. Your counselor/coach has the option of breeching confidentiality if you report a specific plan or intent to cause serious bodily harm to an identifiable person.

With my signature below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to all of the above.
