BILLING AND PAYMENTS

•Payment is due at the time the service is provided. If your child has insurance, the expected payment will be based on the copayment, deductible, and/or coinsurance as indicated by the insurance company.

•Our staff will attempt to verify your child’s mental health coverage, but this is not an authorization or a guarantee of payment from your insurance company. As such you, not your insurance company, are responsible for full payment of your fees.

•If you have questions about your child’s coverage, you should contact your insurance company directly or talk to your employer’s insurance plan administrator.

•If you cannot pay for your child’s services at the time they are provided, you should discuss that with me immediately to determine what options might be available.

•If your child’s account has not been paid for more than 90 days and arrangements for payment have not been made, legal means might be used to secure payment. If such action is necessary, those costs will be added to your balance.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, 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 healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
