Insurance

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or an employee benefit plan. I am able to bill most health insurances, but I am not an in-network provider. If you have a health insurance policy, it is important that you verify if your policy includes a behavioral health plan along with the specific details of that plan. If you are uncertain, I will be happy to work with you to find that information out.


Here is a list of suggestions to ask your insurance company:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session/ co-pay?

  • How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

  • Are there any limitations to my coverage?

  • Is family therapy covered under my out-of-network plan.

Good Faith Estimate  

​

Beginning January 1, 2022, federal laws regulating client care have been updated to include the “No Surprises” Act. This Act requires health care practitioners to provide current and potential clients who are not using insurance a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) on the cost of treatment.

​

This new regulation is designed to provide transparency to patients regarding their expected medical expenses and to protect them from surprises when they receive their medical bills. It allows patients to understand how much their health care will cost before they receive services.

​

When you set up services with Healing Connections Counseling, you will be provided with a verbal Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and will be given a written estimate once services begin. If you are a a current client, you will be provided with a GFE as well. Please contact me at 907-341-7798 with any billing questions. 

​

In addition, the Good Faith Estimate offers specific protections:

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate even if you get superbills, since we are not in-network with insurance.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare service or items.

  • You have the right to receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled healthcare service or item. If a service is scheduled at least 10 business days in advance, the Good Faith Estimate must be provided within 3 business days (of the scheduling, not of the appointment itself). If a service is scheduled at least 3 business days in advance, the Good Faith Estimate must be provided within 1 business day of scheduling.

  • You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a healthcare service or item. For services scheduled less than 3 business days in advance, please note that a Good Faith Estimate is not required by federal law, and will not be provided for you in written form except by request.

  • You have the right to receive a requested Good Faith Estimate within 3 business days.

  • You have the right to dispute a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate. The federal government offers a dispute resolution process for this purpose.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions about the dispute process or for more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
