TCP now accepts Aetna insurance, and our intake is open with no waitlist! Please call us at 215-567-1111 to begin your journey today.

Payment & Fees

Part of the Therapy Center of Philadelphia’s mission is to make therapy more accessible. Therefore, all of our services are offered at a discount, using a sliding fee scale. The fee you will pay is based on your income and number of dependents and is established at the time of your intake. It will be reassessed annually unless your circumstances change. 

We do not offer free therapy services.

Range of Prices

Therapy fees range from $30-$150 for individual and couples sessions. Your specific rate will be based on your income and determined during your initial phone call. Intake sessions are an additional $25 above your established rate.

Insurance

TCP accepts Aetna insurance. Please inform us about your Aetna coverage during your intake so we can best organize your care.

For all other insurance providers, we can supply you with invoices that you may submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Victim Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP)

TCP accepts payment through the VCAP, which assists survivors of sexual violence with therapy costs. VCAP support is available regardless of whether the crime was reported to law enforcement, though time limits and eligibility requirements apply.

Payment Methods

Payment in full is required at the time that therapy services are provided. Payment may be made through our portal via credit card or HSA/FSA.

Good Faith Estimate

The No Surprises Act is a federal law that went into effect on January 1, 2022. 

What is a good faith estimate?

A good faith estimate is a list of expected charges before you get health care items or services (procedures, supporting care) from a provider or facility.

The good faith estimate isn’t a bill. You’re only given one if you don’t have insurance or aren’t using insurance to pay for your care.

When can you get a good faith estimate?

You’re eligible to get a good faith estimate if you schedule care at least 3 business days (Monday through Friday) in advance. You can ask your provider directly for an estimate if they don’t give one to you.

What’s included on a good faith estimate?

A good faith estimate should include expected charges for the health care items and services, including facilities fees and hospital fees.

Currently, good faith estimates only list expected charges for a single provider or facility, even if multiple providers will be involved in your care. You should request an estimate from each of your providers and the facility involved in your care.

Note: Your provider should include everything they can on the estimate. But you may need care that they didn’t anticipate. That care won’t be included on the estimate.

How do I get a good faith estimate?

Usually, if you don’t have or use health insurance to pay for your care, providers must give you a good faith estimate of how much it will cost. You get the estimate when you schedule care at least 3 business days in advance or if you ask for one. You may be able to dispute your bill if it’s at least $400 more than the estimate.

Note: You won’t get an estimate during emergency care.
