INSURANCE ACCEPTED
Coverage You Can Count On
When it comes to our well-being, mental health is just as important as physical health. In the past, many health insurance companies provided better coverage for physical illness than they did for mental health disorders. As of 2008, mental health parity law requires coverage of services for mental health, behavioral health and substance use disorders to be comparable to physical health coverage. Yet, many people still are not aware that the law exists or how it affects them.
Furthermore, due to onset of COVID-19 pandemic, all insurance companies improved access to telehealth services.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
As of 1/1/2022, state licensed providers and facilities need to give a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of healthcare charges to every new and continuing client who is either uninsured, is not planning to submit a claim to their insurance or is utilizing out-of-network provider/facility for their healthcare services. The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate either party to accept services.
Disclaimer
This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of services that are reasonably expected for the expected services to address your mental health care needs. The estimate is based on the information known to me when I complete the estimate.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.
If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
You may contact me at the contact listed above to let me know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask me to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.
You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
