Fees and Insurance
CAPS does charge a fee for some services. The initial consultation and first three individual sessions are at no cost to students. There will be a $35 fee for most individual therapy sessions after the third individual appointment in a fiscal year. Students with UC Student Health Insurance have reduced fees. There is no charge for group therapy. No student will be denied services due to financial barriers. If you have questions or concerns about fees, please speak to your initial consultation therapist or ongoing treatment provider about a fee waiver.
Note: CAPS waives the fees for the following students:
- Students with a Medicare or Medicaid insurance plan
- Students who are Veterans
- Students who are Pell or Cincinnati Pride Grant Recipients
- Students who have experienced a gender-based violence, intimate partner or dating violence, stalking or discrimination
* Students who service fees are waived, will still be required to pay the $25.00 fee if missed session was not called into CAPS within the 24 hours.
