Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment time, be sure to notify me no less than 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for a full session. Appointment reminders are usually sent by text one day before your appointment, and are only a courtesy, not a reason for forgetting your appointment. Medicaid clients are subject to a zero tolerance for late or repeated cancellations.
Not receiving an appointment reminder is not an excuse for a missed appointment. I understand that life happens and there are times when you simply cannot make an appointment. However, a cancelled appointment hurts three people: you, your therapist, and another client who could have potentially used your time slot. When a session is cancelled even with less than 3 days notice, usually this time slot cannot be filled and someone else misses out.
Repeated requests to cancel or reschedule…
even within the 24 hour period, will result in being dismissed from care or being put on the daily cancellation list.
Payment is due in full prior to each session commencing. Checks are not accepted. An updated debit/credit card is required to be left on file in all cases. Insurance does not cover any part of a missed, no-show or late-cancellation.
Insurance Billing
If your insurance company is not listed above, I am considered an out-of-network provider. This means you will be responsible for the full OON rate at the time of service rather than your in-network co-pay, however, you may be eligible for out of network benefits. In either case I will electronically submit claims on your behalf and you will be reimbursed directly. I cannot guarantee your specific out-of network (OON) benefits but typically they are 60-80% of the rate charged, subject to any deductible. Some insurance plans do not pay out of network benefits so if this is a concern, please confirm your benefits before making an appointment.

No Surprises Act.
Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the "No Surprises Act" which requires practitioners to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" about out-of-network care.
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in an insurance plan or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan, that upon request they are entitled to receive (both orally and in writing) a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected charges.
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, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
Note: The PHSA and GFE does not currently apply to clients who are using insurance benefits, including "out of network benefits'' (i.e., submitting Superbills to insurance for reimbursement). However, we are furnishing this information to all clients so that you may understand your estimated charges in the event that your health insurance expires, or you choose to become a cash pay client. These charges would also apply if you received services after the expiration of your health insurance plan and did not give us prior notification of the expiration.
Good Faith Estimate Disclaimer
This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill. If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill. There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount. To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
