Fee and GFE
My rate is $165 per session
Starting January 2022 you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate that gives an estimate of costs of services. This is the "No Surprise Act".
Health care providers under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, are required to inform a person who either does not have insurance or who are not planning on using insurance a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for psychotherapy.
My rate is $165 per session. I usually see clients 1 time per week or 2 times per month. This is an average (with holidays taken out) for 12 months of $3,960-$7,900. This does not include any emergency sessions that would be in addition to "regular" scheduled sessions. Sometimes a client experiences a traumatic event and may need more than weekly sessions. These sessions would not be included in this average estimate.
This is an estimate on a typical client. I can not know for sure an individual's estimate until I have seen and assessed them and made proper diagnosis.
Under this Act you have the right to dispute any bills that are more than $400 over your most recent Good Faith Estimate.
