We accept cash, check, and set up ACH (automatic bank withdrawal) as well as VISA and Mastercard. We run ACH charges at the end of each week for services/fees due from that week. We send a receipt to you the first week of the following month, with the previous month's charges if you have automatic bank withdrawal set up.

Checks are to be made payable to “Hamaguchi & Associates” and are payable at the conclusion of each session. If a child attends more than one session per week, payment may be made during the last session of the week for all the sessions attended that week.

Records Retrieval: Requests for records/reports older than one year are billed at $10 per record, with a $.50 per page copying charge.

Please note: We do not accept insurance as payment. We are a private-pay practice, but sometimes PPO health insurers will reimburse part of the fee as an "out of network provider" and Health Savings Accounts may reimburse you for part of the therapy fees. Please check with your insurance company and HSA for specific coverage and reimbursement policies. Please also read, “If You Intend to Seek Insurance Reimbursement”.
