Session Costs and Good Faith Estimate Statement
The fee for a standard 55-minute therapy visit is $120, if not using insurance.
The “No Surprise Act” has made it so you are entitled to receive “Good Faith Estimate” of health care costs, when not using insurance. A person may not have insurance or may simply chose to not use it for several reasons. It is a good law as it was designed to help people avoid surprises in their bills.
While it is not possible for a therapist to know in advance, how many sessions may be necessary or appropriate for anyone, this page gives how to estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of therapy sessions you attend. The actual length of treatment depends on an individual’s circumstances, the investment in the therapeutic work, and/or additional issues that may arise during the overall course of treatment.
This Good Faith Estimate is not intended to serve as a recommendation for treatment or a prediction that you may need to attend a specified number of therapy visits. The number of visits that are appropriate in your situation/case and the end cost for those services, depends on your needs and what you agree to in consultation with your therapist. You are entitled to disagree with any recommendations made to you concerning your treatment and you may choose to discontinue treatment at any time.
As stated previously, the fee for a standard therapy visit is $120. This is if not using insurance. Most clients will attend one therapy visit per week, but the frequency of therapy visits that are appropriate in your case may be more or less than once per week, depending upon your needs.
If you wish to determine the total estimated cost over the course of a year, you could simply multiply the fee per session by the number of anticipated sessions. For example, if you see me biweekly, then you would multiply my session fee ($120) x 26 weeks to get a total annual estimated cost (not including missed sessions for illness, holidays, vacation, etc.). Example given is: $120 x 26 = $3,120.
There is a Missed Appointment Fee of $50. See below for more information on this.
You have a right to initiate a dispute resolution process if the actual amount charged to you substantially exceeds the estimated charges stated in your Good Faith Estimate. This is described as $400 or more beyond the estimated charges.
You are encouraged to speak with me (Karen Linafelter, your therapist) at any time about any questions you may have regarding your treatment plan, or the information provided to you in this Good Faith Estimate.
Missed Appointment Policy
When an appointment is made with Healing Springs Hope, I set aside an amount of time to provide you with attention and care based on your or your child’s needs at that time. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please contact me as soon as possible. No later than 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. This will enable another client who is waiting for an appointment to be scheduled in that appointment slot.
I understand things come up. If you do need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call or email me, I am happy to help you with this. When an appointment is missed, there is a charge of $50.00 missed appointment fee.
If you are running late for an appointment, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can review our schedules and determine if there is still time that day to have a session or if we need to reschedule the appointment for another day.
As a courtesy and if you chose for this option, I have the ability to send email appointment reminders.
