 Fees
As you can see from the Clinical Work and Other Services, Robert provides a range of services. Understandably then, his fees vary.
Individual and Family Work - $110.00 per session
A typical "session" lasts between 50 and 75 minutes. The fees for private practice clinical work are not covered by Nova Scotia's MSI . Many group or private medical plans and work place Employee Assistance Plans (EAP's) provide reimbursement for the fees . For example, Robert is a registered Blue Cross service provider. So if your benefits are provided through Blue Cross AND your plan covers services offered by a social work clinician, your insurance would pay for services. Similiarly, if you are a student at Dalhousie University and you subscribe to the Student Health Plan that is offered by RWAM / Green Shield, your fees will be reimbursed up to the plan limit. You may wish to speak with your insurance carrier or your employer to see what coverage you carry for you and your family members. You should specifically ask if they cover services provided by a social work clinician.
In most cases, insurance will cover 100% of the cost of each session up to a maximum number of sessions. Fees are paid at each session.
Speaking and consulting work - $800.00/half day, $1 500.00/day
Robert is a well sought after speaker and trainer. He charges a standard daily fee for this work. In most cases fees are negotiated to include preparation days as well as onsite programme delivery days (for example, a 2 day training may be charged at a rate of 3 days: 1 preparation day and 2 delivery days).
When asked to key note or deliver a brief presentation at a conference or workshop, the minimal cost for this is usually 1/2 day within the Halifax Metro area and a full day, outside of Metro. Travel costs are expected to be covered by the organization contracting the service. If you are an NGO wishing to engage my services but think you cannot afford these fees, please be in touch. I occasionally do work at reduced fees for NGO's that do a work that serves my communities of concern.
