I will bill the insurances above directly and you will pay your copay, coinsurance, and/or deductible payment at your visit.

My Insurance isn’t listed:

You can contact your insurance company directly. Ask them these questions: What do I need to do if I want to see someone that is not in network? How many visits do I get? Do I have a copay, deductible, and/or coinsurance? Will I be able to pay the therapist and submit a receipt to get reimbursed?

Medicaid

I do not accept Straight Medicaid at this time. If you have a Medicaid HMO product within one of the insurances listed above, we will need to confirm with your insurance that I am considered in network since I am not a Straight Medicaid provider.

No Surprises Act

The No Surprises Act and the Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act (called the No Surprises 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.

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 expected charges for medical services, including mental health services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
• You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
