Previous Clients:
If we have worked together in the past, please know that you are welcome to reach out for a variety of reasons if it would be beneficial to you. Often when previous clients reach out to me they are concerned about whether or not they are contacting me, as their former therapist, in an appropriate way. So far, I have never had a previous client reach out in an inappropriate manner and I am happy to hear from them. Please know that the following examples are not only appropriate, but welcome reasons to contact me, along with many others I have not thought of to put on this list. For example:
- An additional or new stressor has come up and it would be helpful to work with me again through this temporary timeframe.
- Referrals for other therapists who might be a good fit, in different locations, in different areas of practice, couples vs. individual therapists, groups, etc.
- Resources, the links for them, or information about them that we’ve spoken about.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill
for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs
like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can
also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose or a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
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.
