  • No, but I am happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company.

  • Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to provide individuals who are not enrolled in an insurance plan or a Federal health care program, and not seeking to file a claim with their insurance via superbill or via an in-network provider, with a “Good Faith Estimate” if expected charges at the time of scheduling health care items and services.

    A “Good Faith Estimate” explains how much your medical and mental health care will cost over the period of time you are in treatment. Under this law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are choosing not to use their insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

    For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • The length of time in therapy is client-dependent. It will be determined by your goals, history, and progress.
