Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.  

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Using Your Insurance:

I am a provider with Beacon Health Options (Partnership Health) – Medicare, Managed Health Network, Optum, and Aetna. There are no out of pocket costs for Medicare clients. The rate and out of pocket expenses for Optum and Managed Health Network are based on your individual insurance plan. Co-payments will be confirmed prior to our first appointment with an expectation that all co-payments are made at the beginning of sessions.

All Clients Regardless of Insurance Status

Psychological Immigration Evaluations

My fee for a 10-15 page thorough psychological evaluation for immigration purposes is $1100. The evaluation includes a diagnosis, diagnostic criteria, clinical summary, and clinical recommendations. This fee includes clinical interviews, review of supporting documentation, and signed copies of completed evaluation to both client and client’s lawyer. Psychological immigration evaluations are a different service from outpatient psychotherapy services.
