Insurance

If you are private pay, at the end of each session, she will provide you with an invoice identifying the date of the counseling session and the amount you paid for services, as well as a clinical diagnosis, which is what your insurance company requires in order to reimburse you for mental health services by out-of-network providers. Many clients, out-of-network, can be reimbursed at least a portion of counseling by their insurance company by submitting an invoice of their visit. Some clients may not receive any reimbursement of fees and this is dependent of their insurance plan.

If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified Denise Jenkins, LCSW at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. Of course, unexpected illnesses or medical emergencies will be an exception to this policy.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 – effective 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 (GFE) shows the costs of items and services you can reasonably expect for your health care needs. 

  • You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. 

  • The GFE does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You may experience additional charges if complications or exceptional circumstances occur. 

  • If you receive a bill at least $400 more than your GFE, you may dispute or appeal the bill.

    • You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the GFE. You may ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, negotiate the bill, or ask if financial assistance is 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 four 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 GFE. 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 GFE 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 ten business days before the appointment date, no later than three business days after the date of schedule; or

    • If the uninsured or self-pay client requests a GFE (without scheduling the service), no later than three business days after the date of the request. Healthcare providers must supply a new GFE within the specified timeframes if the patient reschedules the requested item or service.

Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only and does not require immediate financial commitment or payment.
