Fees and Insurance Information

I work with clients on a self-pay or out-of-network insurance coverage basis. If you have out-of-network benefits with your health insurance, you may be reimbursed for some of the costs associated with seeing me.  You can call them to find out information listed below to determine if this is possible. 

Out-of-network Benefit Questions To Find Out From Your Insurance

1.  Does it have mental health benefits?

2.  Does it pay for services conducted by a psychologist?

3.  Does it have out-of-network benefits?  What is the reimbursement rate?

4.  Do you have a deductible?

5.  What is the procedure for getting reimbursed for charges paid to an out-of-network doctor?

Right to Good Faith Estimate of Costs

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 http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
