At the end of each session Dr. Hutchinson gives you a receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Will I be charged for the initial call? There is no charge for the initial consultation call.
Is Dr. Hutchinson reachable between appointments? Yes. Her voice mail message gives clear instructions on how to reach her.
How long will the process of counseling
take?The initial psychological evaluation for weight loss
surgery is generally done in one 90-minute to two-hour session.
With all other issues, the time can vary from 2 months to 2 years.
However, because each individual heals at their own rate, I encourage
my clients to set goals and assess their progress during the counseling
process.
Is your counseling limited to only weight loss surgery issues? No. Dr. Hutchinson has over 25 years of experience in a variety of areas associated with daily living.
