-
Texas
-
Missouri
-
Georgia
-
RUS (Rest of the U.S., Coaching only)
The client must disclose their physical location at the beginning of each telehealth session.
A permanent residence in one of these states does not authorize therapy when the client is physically located somewhere else during the appointment.
Consultation and Service Acceptance
A consultation may be required before beginning therapy, couples services, coaching, consulting, or another requested service.
During the consultation, the following may be reviewed:
-
The person’s needs and goals
-
The requested service
-
Clinical or coaching appropriateness
-
The clinician’s scope of practice and competence
-
Scheduling and availability

The client’s physical location

Ethical considerations
-
Technology and telehealth requirements

Whether the requested professional relationship can be appropriately established
Services will be offered only when the proposed arrangement is legally permissible, ethically appropriate, professionally suitable, financially workable, and technically feasible.
A consultation does not guarantee that services will be accepted. When the requested service is not appropriate or cannot legally or ethically be provided, the person may be offered alternative options or referrals when reasonably available.
Cancellations and Missed Appointments
Cancellation, rescheduling, and missed-appointment charges are governed by the financial agreement and practice policies accepted by the client.
​
Insurance companies generally do not pay cancellation or missed-appointment fees. When a fee applies, it is the client’s responsibility.
Refunds and Payment Errors
Payments are applied to the service or account balance identified at the time of payment.
Duplicate payments, incorrect amounts, or suspected payment errors should be reported promptly by calling 469-809-4584.
Approved refunds will generally be returned to the original payment method when reasonably possible. Refunds are not guaranteed for services already provided.
​
Privacy

Payment and billing information will be handled according to applicable privacy requirements and the Notice of Privacy Practices of Tony Hunt Counseling & Consulting, PLLC.
