Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
According to federal law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance a Good Faith Estimate of what their treatment will cost. This provider does not accept insurance, so all clients will receive a Good Faith Estimate, which will be provided to you through your client portal prior to beginning services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees (which are not applicable with this provider).
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.
Do I Take Insurance?
I do not contract with any insurance companies, and clients must pay all session fees directly to me. Most clients who work with me are working toward what insurance companies consider “self-improvement,” and insurance companies typically only pay for therapy they consider “medically necessary.”
Examples of what insurance companies consider “self improvement” include: Improving relationship satisfaction, reducing shame and improving a client’s sense of self-worth, improving a couple’s sex life, helping couples manage conflict, and helping clients increase their secure functioning in relationships.
Most clients I work with are not seeking treatment for a diagnosable mental health disorder (for example, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, etc.), and symptoms are not the focus of my treatment in most cases.
If you have a diagnosable mental health disorder and if that is what we are treating through therapy, you may ask me for what is called a superbill (specialized invoice) to submit to your health insurance plan to seek reimbursement. I very rarely provide these for couples, and several criteria must be in place for me to provide a superbill to a couple.
In the event I provide a client with a superbill, please note:
Insurance plans have permission to “claw back” money they have paid out to you for previous claims if they later request the treatment records and find the treatment to not meet health plan requirements
I am not a contracted provider with any health plan and I cannot guarantee reimbursement or that my treatment documentation will meet your health plan requirements
