Online therapy enables clients to work with therapists remotely via secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms I use a program called Simple Practice that will send you a unique link before each session.

While I’m not an in-network provider for insurance, I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network benefits, including details on your deductible, coverage amounts, and the number of sessions covered. If you have a PPO, there’s a good chance you’ll be partially reimbursed. Please note, if you choose to seek reimbursement, I am required to include a diagnosis on the superbill, which will become part of your medical record.

A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document provided by therapists and other healthcare providers to give an estimate of the costs for treatment to patients who are either uninsured or choosing not to use their insurance. This requirement is part of the No Surprises Act, which took effect in the United States in January 2022. Here’s what it typically includes:

1. Estimated Costs: An itemized list of services that the therapist anticipates providing, along with the expected costs. This might include the cost per session, any additional fees, and potential costs for the entire treatment duration (if known).

2. Service Descriptions: A breakdown of each anticipated service, such as assessment, individual therapy, couples therapy, or group sessions.

3. Treatment Plan Details: If possible, the GFE may outline the expected treatment duration or frequency of sessions, depending on the client’s needs and what the therapist can predict early on.

4. Disclaimer Statements: The GFE also typically includes a disclaimer stating that the estimate is not a contract, and actual costs may vary if treatment changes or if unforeseen needs arise.

5. Patient Rights: Information about the patient's rights to dispute any significantly higher costs than those estimated in the GFE.

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.
