CAN I UTILIZE MY INSURANCE BENEFITS?

I am considered an out-of-network provider with most insurance plans and do not participate in managed care plans. While utilizing insurance benefits can lower the cost of services, it in turn lends your insurance company to “govern” much of the process- i.e. how often you can be seen, how long your sessions can be, etc. Insurance companies require therapists to provide clients with a mental health diagnosis that remains in your medical record. In some cases, a diagnosis can be helpful for clinical work, though most often it is unnecessary to label human existence in such a sterile, impersonal manner. 

I choose not to panel with insurance companies for this reason, as it allows me to better maintain your confidentiality throughout our work together.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • 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 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
