If you are not using insurance (paying privately) I am happy to provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance carrier. It is best to contact your insurance carrier directly to find out if they have coverage for out-of-network benefits, as I am not able to guarantee that your insurance carrier will provide a partial or full reimbursement. For a list of questions to ask your insurance carrier, please visit my FAQ Page. To learn more about superbills, read this Step-by-Step Guide to Out-of-Network Benefits. (Note that I am not associated with ZenCare or their therapist directory).
Please note that the following disclaimer only applies to clients who are not using insurance:
What is the No Surprises Act?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Effective January 1, 2022, a law went into effect called the “No Surprises Act”, which requires mental health practitioners to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) about out-of-network care to any patient who is uninsured, or who is insured but does not plan to use their insurance benefits to pay for health care items and/ or services.
The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your mental health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.
You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person upon the initiation of psychotherapy, the form provides an estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you. The estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain any services from the provider listed, nor does it include any services rendered to you that are not identified in the estimate.
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.
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 healthcare 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.
