We discuss how to bill when a client is paying for services directly, how to bill accurately and ethically when a client chooses to use insurance, and how to optimize collections regarding collection of co-pays and using credit cards. Our emphasis is placed on the ethical framework that guides all decisions regarding billing and collecting. We place the focus on protecting clients' rights in the billing and collections processes, outline steps for providing clients with informed consent about billing practices and procedures, and discuss other issues relevant to ethical and legal practice in billing and collecting fees"--Introduction.
