Common use of Child and Family Treatment Clause in Contracts

Child and Family Treatment. We help with a wide range of child and teen problems, from birth through age 17. We value the involvement of parents or guardians, siblings, relatives, and other significant others. The younger the child, the more likely it is that will be working primarily with the adults. In any particular session we may talk with various family members. Family therapy is helpful for many childhood problems. Some children and teens may need more private time with their provider to build rapport or work on specific issues. For others who have difficulty with talking or language skills, the clinician may use games and play techniques. At times it will be helpful for your provider, with your permission, to talk with school or daycare personnel—to get a better understanding, or to provide helpful assistance. We do provide counseling and medication to children and families experiencing difficulties with separation and divorce. We want to help children and parents stay mentally healthy. We do provide marriage/couple counseling. This service is usually not covered by insurance, but you can pay for it out of pocket. Family therapy (CPT code 90847) is covered by some insurance plans—this is when the patient has a mental health condition and one or more family members/significant others participate in the session to help improve the patient’s condition.
