Tell them you want to see a mental health therapist who is out-of-network. Ask them if you have out-of-network mental health benefits, if you need prior approval from them, if they pay the full or partial amount billed, and if they cover tele-health sessions). We will provide a monthly super-bill statement that you can submit to them.

Good Faith Estimate: We ensure transparency and trust by providing clear explanations of financial aspects like the Good Faith Estimate and No Surprises Act. You will sign the The Good Faith Estimate when you complete our intake documents. It serves as an upfront projection of anticipated costs for mental health services, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care. The No Surprises Act safeguards you from unexpected bills by prohibiting surprise billing for out-of-network services, granting peace of mind during already challenging times. We prioritize openness and accountability in our practice, striving to create a supportive environment where you can focus on your well-being without financial worry.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
