** I live in a disabled household and run on crip time. This means my email response time may be 3-4 days. “crip time” is a disability community phrase of sustainability that disrupts and challenges ableist expectations of productivity, time, and being. As disabled people we move at a different pace - your grace and understanding are appreciated.
good faith estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and facilities are required to provide individuals who do not have health insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the anticipated bill for medical items and services upon request or at the time of scheduling. This is called a “Good Faith Estimate.”
Note: This does not currently apply to any clients who are using insurance benefits, including "out of network benefits” (i.e., submitting superbills to insurance for reimbursement).
Clients have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” which outlines the total expected cost of services. The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.
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 and will be provided a new "Good Faith Estimate" should this occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your therapist have not previously talked about the change and you have not been given an updated good faith estimate.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask your provider, and any other provider you choose, for a “Good Faith Estimate” before you schedule service.
Be sure to save a copy of your “Good Faith Estimate.” For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
More Details
Policies
It is practice policy that clients give 24 hour notice for rescheduled sessions, or will be billed for a missed session. Clients arriving 10 minutes or later will be considered missing the session and will not be seen, unless other arrangements have been made prior.
Services
Telehealth and in-person are offered, individual and couples counseling available. The office is ground level and wheelchair accessible. Fidgets & sensory items are available. I have a HEPA filter in the office.
It is typical that we meet weekly for six months to a year, and then move to every other week, depending on client’s needs.
Insurance & Payment
I do not accept insurance, but can provide you with a “Superbill”, which you can use with some insurance companies who will reimburse you for seeing therapists out of network (OON).
You may alternately use your HSA or FSA card to pay for therapy. This is pre-tax income.
Sliding scale is available.
E.i.p
I am currently contracted with EIP. The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is Washington State's AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).
