Insurance

I can provide documentation for you to file out-of-network claims directly with your insurance provider. You are encouraged to call your insurance company ahead of time and ask about coverage for out-of-network benefits and the process for you to file such claims.

When choosing to file insurance for therapy or counseling services, please know that insurance companies do require a formal diagnosis in order to approve and reimburse claims. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let me know ahead of consenting for me to release your information and file claims. Once that information has been submitted, it is in their system and we would be unable to remove it. Any services that you may choose to engage in but are not considered a covered service by the insurance company will not be billed them and you would be responsible for the full amount. This would include no-shows or late cancellations for scheduled appointments.

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” for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. 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.

If there’s a concern with billing, 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.

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.

To learn more, get a form to start the process, or to consult with any questions you may have, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
