Good Faith Estimate

The estimate below is the range of cost that is likely for most new patients as of August 30, 2024.  Until I do an initial evaluation and we start to work together, I will not have a clear picture of your specific diagnosis, issues and needs. I typically see therapy clients for 15-20 sessions for a total cost of $2,400-$3,200 over the course of treatment.   But in some cases a client’s issues may be more complicated, so we may need additional sessions during the time covered by this estimate.

Cost per Session as of August 30, 2024.

CPT Code 90971 Initial Diagnostic Evaluation ( the first initial session):—$200-$240

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY CODES:

COUPLES/FAMILY THERAPY CODES:

DISCLAIMER

This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of services that are reasonably expected for the expected services to address your mental health care needs. The estimate is based on the information known to [us/me] when [we/I] did the estimate.

The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.  

If you are billed for $400 more (per provider) than this Good Faith Estimate (GFE), you have the right to dispute the bill

You may contact the The Nesting Space LLC. at the contact listed above to let them know the billed charges are at least $400 higher than the GFE. You can ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available. 

You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill. 

There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
