"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Good Faith Estimate

             

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

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, visitwww.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059

                               

F.A.Q

I typically meet with clients once per week for 45 minutes, however we may meet more or less frequently depending on their needs. 
My rate is $250 for a 45-minute individual therapy session and $280 for a 60-minute couples therapy session.

I am not in-network with any insurance companies, but I will provide you with a superbill which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. 

I see clients via HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform and in-person in my office in Lexington. 
Everything we speak about is confidential unless I believe you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else. Then I am required by law to break confidentiality. Please see the linked Privacy Notice for further information.
