Good Faith Estimate of Costs

You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you under the federal No Surprises Act. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person, this form provides a range of estimates of the cost of services provided.

You may choose to schedule a range therapy appointments over the course of the next 12 months based on your progress in therapy, potential changes to the goals of therapy over time, unexpected stressors that arise, diagnostic changes, time off for vacation or illness, etc. The pricing listed below is meant to provide a transparent estimate of the costs to you over the next 12-months according to a range of potential frequencies of visits.

Deciding how many appointments (and thus the expenses accrued) is always your choice. Your account will be billed weekly for any services you receive, and as a result there should never be a surprise outstanding balance for you to pay. If you have any questions about the estimated costs listed below, please ask us.

Disclaimer

This Good Faith Estimate is not intended to serve as a recommendation for treatment or a prediction that you may need to attend a specified number of psychotherapy visits. The number of visits that are appropriate in your case, and the estimated cost for those services, depends on your needs and what you agree to in consultation with your therapist.

Throughout your treatment, the provider may recommend additional items or services as part of your treatment that are not reflected in this estimate. These would need to be scheduled separately with your consent and the understanding that any additional service costs are in addition to the Good Faith Estimate.

If your needs change during treatment, your provider should supply a new, updated Good Faith Estimate to reflect the changes to treatment, and the accompanying cost changes.

You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract between provider and client and does not obligate or require the client to obtain any of the listed services from the provider.

You have a right to initiate a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if the actual amount charged to you substantially exceeds the estimated charges stated in your Good Faith Estimate (which means $400 or more beyond the estimated charges). 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.

To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 985-3059.
