Notice About the No Surprises Act

As a completely out of network practice, we are transparent with our fees so our clients know and can plan for the cost of services. This transparency has been required by the ethical standards by which we have abided for the entirety of our careers, and because we believe it is the only way for us as clinicians to bring trust and integrity into our working relationship.
​
The Federal No Surprises Act went into effect on January 1, 2022 to protect patients from surprise medical bills. As a result, all licensed health providers who offer out of network services are required to post a notice of “your rights and protections against surprise medical bills” on our websites or in our physical offices.

You may know that many people have been harmed by surprise medical bills, often incurred during emergency or surgical care where there may be out of network providers involved in a patient’s care without their knowledge. It is unlikely this could occur when receiving services at practice as there should be no situation in which you would “unknowingly” receive care from someone other than your clinician or receive care with no choice. Again, the nature of mental health services are different and we do not engage in surprise or balance billing. For example, the costs for services are outlined on our site and reviewed in the consultation call. Further, in accordance with the Act, we will gladly provide a Good Faith Estimate of the costs of services following an initial evaluation and during the course of treatment. Rest assured, you can always ask us about any costs about which you may be unsure, and you will be provided clear, accurate information.

Please also include the contact details for emergency services, which is available when the In Crisis button is clicked at the footer of the page.
