Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, health care providers must 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 Good Faith Estimate is provided in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.

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.

Financial Transparency and Your Rights

For those who do not have or are not using insurance, I provide a Good Faith Estimate before our first session that outlines expected costs for the year. Whether we pursue a standard path or a specialized EMDR protocol, you'll have a clear financial roadmap from day one. 

Itemized estimates based on specialized treatment paths (e.g., standard psychotherapy vs. specialized EMDR protocols; services rendered under the Sliding Scale & Equitable Access program) will be provided upon scheduling or request.
