Good Faith Estimate

​

I am committed to transparency with my fees, ensuring that my patients are aware of the cost of services can plan accordingly. This is in line with my ethical standards and helps to build trust and integrity in our working relationship. Additionally, as a licensed mental health provider, I comply with the Federal No Surprises Act and do not engage in surprise or balance billing. I will provide a Good Faith Estimate of costs prior to the first session and at any point during treatment upon request.

No Surprises Act Notice

 

​The Federal No Surprises Act went into effect on January 1, 2022 to protect patients from surprise medical bills. As a result, all licensed health providers who offer out of network services are required to post a notice of “your rights and protections against surprise medical bills” on our websites or in our physical offices.

You may know that many people have been harmed by surprise medical bills, often incurred during emergency or surgical care where there may be out of network providers involved in a patient’s care without their knowledge. It is unlikely this could occur when receiving services from me as there should be no situation in which you would “inadvertently” receive care from me, or receive care with no choice.

The nature of mental health services is different and I do not engage in surprise or balance billing. Further, in accordance with the Act, I will  provide a Good Faith Estimate of the costs of services prior to a first session and at your request, anytime in the course of treatment. You can always ask me about any costs about which you may be unsure, and you will be provided clear, accurate information.
