Self- Pay Information
Choosing to self-pay is a good option for clients who want to protect their privacy and avoid the hassle of dealing with insurance companies. At Align Counseling Associates, PLLC we can provide superbills and documentation for insurance policies that reimburse for out-of-network and/or out-of-pocket expenses. Please check with your insurance provider and specific plan to see if they reimburse and, if so, at what percentage. Some therapists at Align Counseling Associates, PLLC may accept some insurances but vary on the therapist.
Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to provide a good faith estimate of expected charges for items and services to 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, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care 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 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.
