Home Contact Me Payment Emergency Forms My Background

Payment

Fee: My fee for services is $125 per 50 minute session.  Bills are to be paid at the end of each session.  Checks will be made out to Jessica Farber, Psy.D. 

Victim Witness: I am approved to accept Victim Witness Compensation from the State of California for people who are eligible in that program. 

PPO Insurance Reimbursement: I am not contracted with any insurance companies, but many of my clients have had success in obtaining reimbursement from their PPO insurance companies for a portion of my fee.  If you are interested in pursuing this option, you first need to contact your insurance company to see if they provide compensation for services by an “out-of-network provider.”  Then I ask that you pay my fee to me up front, and at the end of each month I will provide you with a detailed statement/receipt that you can submit to your insurance company in order to receive reimbursement from them for part of the fee.

Sliding Fee: If you have trouble affording my full fee, I may have a sliding fee slot available.  Sliding scale fee is decided on an individual basis, taking into account income, family size and financial obligations.  My sliding fee range is $75-$125 per 50 minute session.  If you are unable to afford my fee, I will be happy to provide you with other referrals for lower fee treatment through my clinic, which has fees as low as $10 per session. 

Office Hours and Cancellation Policy

My office hours are currently on Tuesday through Saturday. My office is located at 3880 South Bascom Avenue, suite 111, San Jose, CA 95124.  I receive mail in suite 202.  Once we agree to meet and an hour is reserved for you, you are responsible for payment for that session.  If you cannot keep a scheduled appointment, you must provide me with 24 hours advance notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment, to avoid being charged for a missed session.  If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance of a session, you will be charged for that session.  I do reserve the right to make some exceptions to this rule upon my discretion, if the session can be rescheduled within the next two business days after the canceled appointment.  However,  if you fail to call and cancel (“no show”) you will be charged for the missed session.  Please be courteous and provide me with as much advance notice as possible if you plan to be out of town or cannot keep a future appointment for any reason.
