I don't think you should be charged for that but what kind of check in would "only" take 5 minutes? I mean, I guess you could call and say, "I'm not doing well", and they could say, "well, then come in" but I don't think you should get charged for that. On the other hand, if their response was, "tell me what it going on" and you tried to sort it out on the phone with some strategies for coping, this I would expect them to charge for.
I think this is a fairly common practice these days. I often wonder how email will play into this at some point. My Therapist does not have email but my son's does and we often send notes back and forth this way.
