Insurance
Please make your insurance card available for photocopying.
All CCC counselors are providers for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi.
Three counselors are TriCare certified.
For other insurance companies, your counselor provides a receipt for you to personally file.
You are responsible for paying the entire fee for the first three sessions until payment is firmly established with the insurance provider. Any monies reimbursed by the insurance provider that are more than your payment for the first three sessions will be reimbursed immediately upon receipt. Once payment from insurance is established, you will only be responsible for the co-pay.
Remember, your health insurance is a contract between you and your insurer. Therefore, you alone are responsible for payment regardless of what your insurance company pays.
Some plans require pre-authorization. It is your responsibility to engage this process with your insurance company:
1. Is Crossroads a provider? (Refer to "Crossroads Counseling Center,""Rankin County Baptist Association DBA Crossroads Counseling Center," or the name of your assigned counselor.)
2. What are my mental health benefits? (not simply "counseling")
3. Do I have a deductible, and how much is it? How much have I already paid toward my deductible?

Appointment Cancellation Policy
Twenty-four (24) hour notification is an expected courtesy to the therapist who is reserving time for you and to other clients who are waiting to schedule appointments. You must give a 24-advance notice for cancelled appointments. The advance notice is standard in our profession. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, it is considered a missed appointment, and you will be responsible for the fees for that session.
If you miss or fail to cancel an appointment within 24-hours, you will be charged the entire session fee. Insurance plans do not pay for such charges.
Confidentiality
Crossroads Counseling Center, CCC, takes confidentiality seriously, and we desire to provide an environment in which our clients may place their trust and confidence. Your therapist will keep all information regarding your identity, evaluation, treatment, and related records in confidence. However, there are several exceptions in which we will break confidentiality:
Your consent at the end of this document indicates consent to use your personal health information for routine practices according to the law for treatment, payment, and health care operations. You may revoke this consent in writing at any time, except to the extent that CCC has taken action relying on this consent.
Communication and Technology
There is ongoing advancement of technology and expansive means of communication (e.g. email, text messaging, twittering, social networking sites, etc.). The most secure exchange of confidential information is face to face. Crossroads Counseling Center prioritizes confidentiality and therefore desires to avoid communication via means in which your identity cannot be verified or in which others may be exposed to the confidential information sent by the therapist. However, Crossroads understands that you may prefer to exchange information via email or text messaging to communicate with your therapist.

HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
Crossroads Counseling Center
www.crossroadslink.com
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.
This notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your protected health information (PHI) to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations (TPO) and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control your protected health information. "Protected Health Information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services.
USES AND DISCLOSURES OF PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION
Your protected health information may be used and disclosed by your therapist, our office staff, and others outside of our office that are involved in your care and treatment for the purpose of providing mental health care services to you, to pay your health care bills, to support the operation of the therapist's practice, and any other use required by law.
TREATMENT: We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate, or manage your mental health care and any related service. This includes the coordination or management of your mental health care with a third party. For example, your protected health information may be provided to a physician to whom you have been referred to ensure that the physician has the necessary information to diagnose or treat you.
PAYMENT: Your protected health information will be used, as needed, to obtain payment for your health care services. For example, obtaining approval for psychological testing or a hospital stay may require that your relevant protected health information be disclosed to your health plan to obtain approval for the psychological testing or hospital admission.
HEALTHCARE OPERATIONS: We may use or disclose, as needed, your protected health information in order to support the business activities of your therapist's practice. These activities include, but are not limited to, quality assessment activities, employee review activities, training of medical students, licensing, marketing and fundraising activities, and conducting or arranging for other business activities. For example, we may disclose your protected health information to medical students that see patients at our office. In addition, we may use a sign-in sheet at the registration desk where you will be asked to sign your name and indicate your therapist. We may also call you by name in the waiting room when your therapist is ready to see you.
We may use or disclose your protected health information in the following situations without your authorization. These situations include: as required by law; public health issues as required by law; communicable diseases; health oversight; abuse or neglect; food and drug administration requirements; legal proceedings; law enforcement; coroners, funeral directors, and organ donation; research; criminal activity; military activity and national security; workers' compensation; inmates; required uses and disclosures. Under the law, we must make disclosures to you and when required by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate or determine our compliance with the requirements of Section 164.500.
Other permitted and required uses and disclosures will be made only with your consent, authorization or opportunity to object unless required by law.
You may revoke this authorization at any time in writing, except to the extent that your therapist or the therapist's practice has taken action in reliance on the use or disclosure indicated in the authorization.
YOUR RIGHTS
The following is a statement of rights with respect to your protected health information.
You have the right to inspect and copy your protected health information. Under Federal Law, however, you may not inspect or copy the following records: psychotherapy notes; information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or use in, a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding, and protected health information that is subject to law that prohibits access to protected health information.
You have the right to request a restriction of your protected health information. This means you may ask us not to use or disclose any part of your protected health information for the purpose of treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. You may also request that any part of your protected health information not be disclosed to family members or friends who may be involved in your care or for notification purposes as described in this Notice of Privacy Practices. Your request must state the specific restriction requested and to whom you want the restrictions to apply.
-
Your provider is not required to agree to a restriction that you may request. If your provider believes it is in your best interest to permit use and disclosure of your protected health information, your protected health information will not be restricted. You then have the right to use another healthcare professional.
You have the right to request to receive confidential communications from us by alternative means or at an alternative location. You have the right to obtain a copy of this notice from us, upon request, even if you have agreed to accept this notice alternatively, i.e. electronically.
You may have the right to have your provider amend your protected health information. If we deny your request for amendment, you have the right to file a statement of disagreement with us and we may prepare a rebuttal to your statement and will provide you with a copy of any such rebuttal.
You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures we have made, if any, of your protected health information. We reserve the right to change the terms of the notice and will inform you by mail of any changes. You then have the right to object or withdraw as provided in this notice.
Complaints
You may complain to us or to the Secretary of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated by us. You may file a complaint with us by notifying our privacy contact of your complaint. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
This notice becomes effective on or before April 14, 2003.
