Understanding your right to transparent cost information.
Under the No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), health care providers are required to give patients who are uninsured or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including mental health services. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate."
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing before your first scheduled appointment, or at any time upon request.
Your Good Faith Estimate will include the expected cost of services provided by Restwell Therapy, including: the type and frequency of services; the expected duration of treatment (to the extent it can be reasonably estimated); the cost per session; and the total estimated cost for the course of treatment.
Please note that psychotherapy is individualized and the number of sessions needed varies significantly from person to person. The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to continue services.
If you plan to use insurance, your insurer will determine what portion of costs you are responsible for. Restwell Therapy is currently in-network with: Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), Optum, and Carelon. We strongly encourage you to contact your insurance provider to verify your specific benefits, deductible, copay, and any limitations on mental health services before your first appointment.
Please note that insurance coverage for therapy is not guaranteed and may be subject to medical necessity determinations, pre-authorization requirements, or other conditions.
Clients who choose to pay out-of-pocket (self-pay) are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate before their first session. Please contact us at corleyphd@restwelltherapy.com to request a personalized Good Faith Estimate at any time.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. For questions or disputes, you may contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises
