Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
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, if requested.
You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services, if requested.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule a service. Please let me know during our consultation call if you would like a GFE.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE.
For questions or more information about your right to a GFE, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

In-Network Insurance
Each individual therapist on our team is on various insurance panels. Please let us know about any insurance preference before your initial appointment so we can best match you with a therapist who is in-network. We can check your benefits and provide you with a detailed cost estimate prior to beginning therapy if you decide to go through insurance, but we cannot guarantee benefit estimates and encourage all clients to check their own mental health benefits by reaching out to their insurance company. Please note that, often, insurance companies will require clients to receive a diagnosis in order to be reimbursed for therapy or receive services. If you are concerned about having a mental health diagnosis on your permanent medical record, please let us know so we can discuss your options.
Out-of-Network Insurance
If you have an insurance plan with a company that your clinician is not paneled with, you may qualify for out-of-network benefits. Out-of-network benefits are when your insurance plan allows you to be reimbursed for some or all of your payments for services rendered with a provider who is not paneled with your insurance. All therapists at Chase Wellness can give you the appropriate paperwork to submit for these benefits. Please inquire with your insurance company directly about your out-of-network benefits and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance in exploring this option.
Sliding Scale Services
If you are in need of financial assistance with your therapeutic costs, we reserve a limited amount of sliding scale options. Sliding scale options are unique to each therapist and availability varies. Please inquire directly with your therapist about sliding scale options.
Payment Methods
Payment in full is due at the time of service. We accept payments in the form of credit cards. Therapeutic services are eligible to be covered by HSA and FSA cards as well. Clients are required to keep a credit card on file to be used as either primary or secondary payment options.
*Please check out our Good Faith Estimate for more details on potential costs for therapy for clients who opt for private pay options.
