Initial Consultation and Follow-up Appointments

Initial appointment: 

The initial appointment can go up to 90 minutes and the fee is $500. The initial visit has to take place in the office or over the internet with the use of web camera. Please see the webcam appointment instructions here.

What is included in the initial consultation:

·         Prior to your first appointment, you will need to fill out and send in several forms. Please see the New Client Forms section here.

·         The first visit includes a consultation of up to 90 minutes.

·         The initial remedy will be given to you at the time of your consult or mailed to you within two or three days.

·         You will be asked to give a first week report (3 days is recommended) by email.

·         You will be asked to give a 14 day report by email. If you cannot stabilize on your remedy after 7-10 days—you will be instructed to stop the remedy and wait until the next follow-up appointment.

Follow-up appointments: 

Up to 30 minutes, and the fee is $150. If you live far from the office or if it is easier, you can do your follow-up over the phone or with phone and webcam. Please see webcam appointment instructions here.

·         These appointment intervals vary depending on the complexity of the individual case. The first follow-up appointment is 4 weeks after the first visit. After the first follow-up, the interval depends on how well you are doing that with your homeopathic treatment, but generally about every 6 weeks.

What is included in follow-up appointments:

·         Two brief communications in-between visits (as stated above—day # 3 and 14) by email. If you are an in office client, you will get a new remedy if you need. If you are a distance client, and you need a new remedy, we will instruct you how to purchase and prepare the remedy.

Required yearly visit or if your case needs to be retaken prior to that: 

Up to 60 minutes, and the fee is $350.

·         Established clients need a yearly visit for their case to be retaken by Farah. If you are doing well, you can continue on your remedy, but when you need any input to your case, you will be asked to come in to the office or meet over the internet. To have an internet meeting, all you need is a computer with internet connection and a web camera. Farah will send you an email with a link that you just click and you will both be able to see each other.

·         This is also for clients that need their case to be retaken at length before that time, due to a major life change (hospital, illness, etc.) or when Farah feels it is necessary due to the complexity of the case—where she feels it will be beneficial to see you, as your case management cannot be handled through a follow-up appointment or communication by email or phone.

What is included in the yearly visit:

·          Personal consultation with Farah up to 60 minutes to retake your case—you may be asked to step out of the office for a time, while she works on your case and prepares your remedy.

·         If you need a new remedy, it will be given to you at the time of your consult.

·         You will be asked to give a first week brief report (3 days is recommended after you take the remedy) by email.

·         You will be asked to give a 14 day report by email. If you cannot stabilize on your remedy after 7-10 days—you will be instructed to stop the remedy and wait until the next follow-up appointment.

Phone and email fees that go beyond brief communication of 5 min:  

Longer communication will be billed at $25 per 5 min increments, not to exceed an extra 15 min with any brief follow-up ($75)—if the communication goes past this point, you will be advised to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Insurance:

Homeopathy services provided by Farah are not reimbursed by insurance.

Payments:  

The fees for consultation are payable by cash (USD), cashier’s check, US check or a credit card (Visa/MC).

Cancellation policy:

Appointments that are canceled 48 hours in advanced will not be charged a cancellation fee. Appointments canceled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged 50% of the scheduled fee.
