Good Faith Estimate

Good Faith Estimate Notice

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance with an estimate of expected charges for medical and mental health services. This is known as a “Good Faith Estimate.”

As a mental health counseling practice, I am committed to transparency in the cost of care. Before you begin services, you have the right to request a written Good Faith Estimate that outlines the anticipated cost of your counseling sessions and any related services. This estimate will be based on the information known at the time and may include the number of sessions, frequency of visits, and associated fees.

Please note that the Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services. Actual charges may vary depending on your individual needs, progress in therapy, or any changes to your treatment plan.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You may initiate a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) within 120 days of receiving the bill.

You are encouraged to keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. If you have questions or would like to request an estimate before scheduling services, please contact our office.

Your care and trust are important to me, and I am here to help you make informed decisions about your mental health services.
