Good Faith Estimate
It's incredibly frustrating to encounter hidden fees or unexpected service charges. Healthcare costs shouldn't catch you off guard. Under the No Surprises Act, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, healthcare providers are required to provide patients with a 'good faith estimate' for anticipated costs.
In therapy, clients seek assistance for a variety of complex issues, making it impossible to predict an exact number of sessions needed to achieve desired outcomes. In my experience, clients typically begin to notice shifts or the impacts of therapy within 6-12 sessions. However, everyone's journey is unique, and progress in therapy cannot be guaranteed. While I cannot offer a guarantee, I can provide a comprehensive outline of all charges, with the current procedural terminology (CPT) code associated with treatment to ensure transparency and prevent surprise costs.
Intake Session: CPT Code (90791) 55 Minute - $175
Individual Session: CPT Code (90837) 55 Minute - $175
Family/ Couples with Client Present: CPT Code (90847) 55 Minute - $175
Family/ Couples without Client Present: CPT Code (90846) 55 Minute - $175
Support Call: CPT Code (90832) Correspondence lasting longer than 15 minutes (16-37 minutes) - $60
(Calls longer than 37 minutes I charge for a full session. I am not an emergency service and do not typically offer support services, however if needed you need to be aware of the cost for my time)
Legal Services: Due to confidentiality, it is discouraged to have your therapist involved in legal affairs. If the therapist receives a subpoena to testify or provide documents in connection with litigation, I understand that the following fees will apply: 1. Preparation time (including record submission), phone calls regarding litigation or testimony, depositions, time spent in court premises and travel to and from court: $175/hr (billable in 15-min increments). 2. All attorney fees and costs that are incurred by the therapist as a result of legal action.
