It is noted under this Federal law that healthcare providers, including mental health therapists, must provide clients who either do not have insurance, utilize their out of network insurance or choose to self pay despite having coverage an estimate of the expected charges for services.

As a general note, your total cost of services (Good Faith Estimate) will depend upon the number of sessions you attend and the type (individual/family sessions) of services that are provided. However, cost can be calculated by multiplying the session cost by the number of sessions attended. [late cancellation/missed session fees, unscheduled 'crisis' calls, paperwork requests or court/legal fees, if applicable, will impact your total overall costs]

Also, as no diagnosis can be provided until after the completion of an initial/intake session the "no diagnosis" code Z03.89 will be included on the GFE notice. Following the assessment a therapeutic diagnosis will be made and the corresponding diagnostic code determined. The change in diagnostic code will not alter the self pay rates as established. 

The Good Faith Estimate in its entirety will be provided at minimum 24 hours prior to the intake session.
