Good Faith Estimate
For clients who are not seeking out of network insurance reimbursement (in network not accepted), a written detailed good faith estimate will be provided at the first session with the fee once the fee has been mutually agreed upon.
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
Note: The PHSA and the GFE does not apply currently to any clients who are using insurance benefits, including Out of Network Benefits (seeking reimbursement from your insurance companies).
Estimated Costs of Services
Sessions can be weekly, twice weekly, bi-weekly, monthly -or as determined by you and/or in consultation with your therapist. Sessions may continue as long as determined by you and/or in consultation with your therapist. There is no fee for discontinuing sessions at any time and you will only be charged for sessions you attended or failed to cancel according to the late cancel policy of cancelling within 24 hours of a scheduled session. The total cost per year will vary and depends on total number of annual sessions at the session fee. As there is no exact way of providing a total annual estimation due to vacations, holidays, cancellations/ sickness, or longevity of treatment, and frequency variables, estimated annual cost will be based on how many sessions per year x the below rate.
