How do you handle privacy and confidentiality?

Anything shared in our session is kept confidential in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Important exceptions include if there is risk that you might do harm to yourself or someone else. I am a mandated reporters which means I am mandated by law to report the abuse of protected populations, including children, elderly and incapacitated adults. 

I participate in regular consultation groups with other mental health professionals and may share some information about you and your session during these meetings. I do not share any personal information that would reveal your identity.

what is a good faith estimate?

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients 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, or at any time during treatment.

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, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
