You have the right to know the cost of your care in advance. If you do not use insurance for your psychotherapy services, you may request a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.
Your Rights
- Request an Estimate Before You Schedule
You may ask me—or any other provider you choose—for a Good Faith Estimate of the total cost of non‑emergency mental health services, including psychotherapy. - Receive a Clear Breakdown
Your Good Faith Estimate will outline the anticipated fees for each service, so you can make informed decisions. - Dispute Unexpected Charges
If your final bill is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you may dispute the charges. Retain your written or electronic estimate as proof.
