Important Insurance Note

To ensure you have accurate and up-to-date information about your mental health benefits, we strongly recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment. Be sure to ask:

• Whether mental health services are covered

• What your co-pay or deductible is

• If prior authorization is required

​

Sliding Scale

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available based on financial need. Please inquire during your intake process if you'd like to be considered for a reduced fee.

Good Faith Estimate

If you don't have health insurance or you plan to pay for health care bills yourself, generally, health care providers and facilities must give you an estimate of expected charges when you schedule an appointment for a health care item or service or ask for an estimate. This is called a "good faith estimate." 

​​

• A Good Faith Estimate is not a bill

• You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 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 includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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 www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-633-4227
