Illuminate the path back to yourself

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law (“No Surprises Act”), health care providers need to give patients who do NOT have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services when the estimate is requested.

Additional details:

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical services 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.

Payment Options: I accept all major credit cards, as well as HSA and FSA cards. Payment will be automatic through your client portal and chart on SimplePractice.

Insurance & Superbills: I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Reimbursement varies by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement rate for outpatient psychotherapy.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns about payment.
