Case

[other state therapist] [therapist in other state] <[email]96@[email].com>  Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 1:26 PM  To: [The Ex] [last name] <[the ex email]@[email].com>, [Custodial Dad] [last name] <[Custodial dad email]@[email].com>  Mr. and Mrs. [last name]:
Here are my suggestions, based upon the information that I have learned from both of you:
I believe that as the professional, it is for me to assess your circumstances and render recommendations regarding the appropriate course of action. 
I suggest a brief assessment of your family to include: 1) interviews with both parents, 2) interview with the child, 3) meeting with the child and father (in person or via telephone).
The fee for this process is: $300.00 (I can’t guarantee, but some of it may be reimbursed by your insurance).
Please understand that I am unable to devote any additional time to your case until one or both of you pay the attached consult fee.  I would appreciate a brief reply acknowledging your receipt of this message.  I am unable to offer any more pro bono time to your case.  Aside from scheduling the above via email communication, I intend to refrain from any further dialogue.
Respectfully, [other state therapist]

I was under the impression you were to memorialize the statements of the phone contact that we had on July 18th, 2008.
From my understandings, you previously met with [daughter] and found her to be a normal six year old and were unsure how to proceed based on the fact that phone contact supervision is something demanded by [The Ex] and not by any court of law.  Further, you suggested a session in which [daughter] would have contact with me during which you would be able to observe the interaction between [daughter] and I to better assess the situation. The goal being to aid [daughter] in transitioning to allow for scheduled contact and the eventual change in custody/visitation.  My authorization hinges on these simple facts.
Like I stated to you, [daughter] has insurance through [insurance company] and I would be more than happy to facilitate compensation through them. However, [The Ex] is orchestrating this and stated that she would be responsible for any payments in regards to this matter.  If [The Ex] is unable to pay for whatever and/or you can not accept [insurance company], could you recommend another counselor who would be able to assist that does accept insurance?
Thank you for your assistance thus far.

Thank for the response. I am glad that I memorialized the conversation as your statement that [daughter] was “whole” indicated to me that you met previously and I must have misunderstood.  Please excuse my error.
I am uncertain whether we are going forward as that is a decision her mother must make as she is the one responsible for payment and ensuring [daughter] actually attends.  If we do move forward, I have taken care of having this reimbursed through Insurance. As per [insurance company] Behavioral Health, they do require payment to be made previously and if [The Ex] chooses to go forward, we can submit for reimbursement after the $250 deductible is met.  They will reimburse 70% of the visit for twenty (20) visits.

 Ms. [therapist in other state]
From what I understand, [The Ex] has paid you thus far, so I do apologize for the hold up, as soon as the questions - I have asked - are answered by [The Ex], you will receive my authorization for [daughter].

Your last message indicated that you needed a prompt reply, which I did send to you within hours of your message.  Waiting several days, there has been no reply from you
Also  I contacted, Ms. [therapist in other state] and apologized for not submitting my authorization, she indicated that you have neither paid her nor was she aware that you had any intention of doing so.  Please advise as to how you intend to proceed.
Like I have mentioned to you previously, I really have no idea why you requested [daughter] to have a phone when she is neither using it to call me nor is it turned on/available for me to call her directly.  Further, do you have any intention of encouraging [daughter] to follow the schedule that you set?  We were doing so well and its nearly one month of no webcam and very sporadic phone calls.
