FAQS

I am currently telehealth only.

After you’ve selected your date/time and completed the paperwork you will be sent a link to your video appointment. Just make sure you are in a private location and have a good internet connection. thats it :)

I am currently in network with Aetna and Quest Behavioral Health through Headway. I currently am not accepting couples through insurance.

if you would like to use these insurances you can make a Headway profile by clicking here

Otherwise I am out of network and can provide a superbill. you can use the insurance benefits calculator provided on this page to see you cost estimate.

Here are some questions you can ask to help you get started:

• What are my mental health benefits? (specifically outpatient behavioral/mental health)

• How much is my deductible?

• How many outpatient mental health sessions per year does my plan cover?

• How much does my plan cover for out-of-network, outpatient mental health care?
  

Here is my license number for reference: LF61529187

Couples therapy (70 minutes) - $300

At first, I will try to get to know you and get a sense of what your goals are for therapy. I have some general intake questions about your personal history that I ask all my clients. After that, I leave it to you to use the space however you feel like you need to. whether you would like to process the past, more recent events, or stick closer to your treatment goals is entirely up to you,

I have a reschedule policy for individual and couples sessions.

For missed sessions up until an hour before your appointment, you can reschedule. You can make up for cancelled appointments the week before, during, or the week after the date of your cancellation. I provide one annual freebie a year that you can choose to use how you wish.

Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 - which will go into effect on January 1, 2022), health care providers need to give clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes (under the law/when applicable) related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill. 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill. There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate within the following timeframes:If the service is scheduled at least three business days before the appointment date, no later than one business day after the date of scheduling;If the service is scheduled at least 10 business days before the appointment date, no later than three business days after the date of scheduling; orIf the uninsured or self-pay patient requests a good faith estimate (without scheduling the service), no later than three business days after the date of the request. A new good faith estimate must be provided, within the specified timeframes if the patient reschedules the requested item or service.

• The No Surprises Act has a universal waiver form required — which Healing Moments Counseling has adapted into an identical online form. Ask your provider for a good faith waiver.

• This is the public disclosure of the “Good Faith Estimate”

Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only. It does NOT involve you needing to make any type of commitment.
