A perspective I fully disagree with, but recognize as the more common point of view.
On one end of the spectrum I had a prior client who had the impression that the first visit cost would cover that treatment session as well as follow up care, but on the other end is this idea that just the evaluation alone would constitute a cost that some people will delay or avoid care altogether. Insurance covers an initial evaluation but only rarely covers re-evaluation. In my point of view (and built into my fee structure) the evaluation is what gives me the opportunity to have success with treatment or guidance. Only with successful treatment or guidance is there value to the client / patient/ customer. To frame the cost of care based on your initial education investment only encourages the ongoing escalation of costs for all parties involved.
