Billing Information

Frequently asked questions about our fees, insurance, and more.

  • Our most common fees are as follows. A full and detailed price list for all therapy and other services is available to new clients.

    Adult DBT Program

    The first appointment is a $250, 90 minute intake appointment.

    Weekly individual 50 minute sessions, where clients meet one-on-one with their DBT therapist, are $155-200 (depending on the clinician).

    Adult DBT skills classes are divided into “modules” of 7, 8, or 9 classes. Each class is two hours, and cost $125. This payment reserves your spot in the class, and participants are charged each week on the day of the class whether they attend or not.

    There is a $100 discount for paying for a module upfront for persons in our comprehensive program. The prepay cost for each module would therefore be:

    - Interpersonal Effectiveness: $775
    - Distress Tolerance: $900
    - Emotion Regulation: $1025

    DBT Skills Class Only

    Available as an option for some clients that have an outside DBT therapist able to offer that portion of the treatment.

    - Group Orientation Session (30min): $125
    - Interpersonal Effectiveness: $875
    - Distress Tolerance: $1000
    - Emotion Regulation: $1125

    Teen DBT Program (DBT-A)

    The first appointment is a $250, 90 minute intake appointment.

    Individual 50 min sessions, where teens meet one-on-one with their DBT therapist, are $155-175 (depending on the clinician).

    Multi-Family DBT Skills Group classes (which include teens as well as parents) are divided into modules that are each six weeks long. There are four modules (Distress Tolerance, Walking the Middle Path, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness). Groups, in-person and virtual, are $150, for one teen and their caregivers.

    Friends and Family Program

    Friends and Family DBT Skills is a 12 week course. Each class is one hour. Classes are $75 a week. This payment reserves your spot in the class, and participants are charged each week on the day of the class whether they attend or not. You can save $50 if you prepay for a course upfront ($850). You can also receive 50% a second spot when you prepay for yourself and a family member ($1275 for two participants).

    Individual appointments are also available, for ongoing support and education. These 50 min appointments are $155-200 (depending on the clinician).

    Child DBT appointments are generally parents only for the first 6-8 appointments. After this, the child joins the sessions. These weekly, 90 minute appointments are $300.

    DBT Seminars

    We occasionally offer shorter DBT classes and seminars on specific topics. These prices vary based on topic and length.

    FRTC accepts Colorado Access (Medicaid).

    Private Insurance

    FRTC is an out-of network provider for all private insurance companies, and does not bill any insurance company directly.

    If your plan has out of network benefits, your insurance company might reimburse you for some or all of your expenses. You can download statements for submission to your insurance company through your client portal. You may also use your Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Arrangement.

    If you do have out of network benefits, please contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment. Some helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

    • How much will my plan cover per session?

    • How many sessions per year does my plan cover?

    • What information do I need to submit in order to receive out of network reimbursement?

    • What address do I send the information to?

    • What is the deadline for filing claims?

    Medicare

    We can see persons with Medicare, but please be aware that if you have Medicare they will not reimburse you for services you receive from us.

  • When you get treated by an out-of-network provider, you are protected from “surprise billing” or “balance billing.” When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

    “Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. You are also protected from balance billing for emergency services, and certain services at in-network hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.

    At FRTC, we do not offer emergency services or surgical services. We do not accept insurance, so we are considered out-of-network providers for all clients. Therefore, you will never receive a “surprise bill” nor a “balance bill.”

  • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
