Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to inform uninsured and private-pay patients of their right to a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected charges. This notice is prominently displayed on my website, in my office, and wherever scheduling or fee questions occur.

Your Rights Under the Law

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
• You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

My Session Fees

My standard fee is $185 per session. Sliding-scale and reduced-fee options are available for clients who need them. Please ask during our free 15-minute consultation.

Superbills are available for PPO reimbursement. I don't bill insurance directly, but I can provide a detailed invoice you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network mental health benefits.

Before we begin working together, I will provide you with a written Good Faith Estimate specific to your situation, including the expected number of sessions and total cost.
