FEES

The No Surprises Act* requires providers to publish their services and fees to ensure clients are not surprised by the costs of treatment. Upon completion of the assessment I will be able to provide a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for treatment for individuals who lack insurance coverage for psychotherapy and/or are self-pay.

Individuals who are billed a substantially larger amount than their good faith estimate can initiate the PPDR (patient provider dispute resolution) process through the US Dept of Health and Human Services.

* Enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260).

What are intensives?

'EMDR intensives' refers to psychotherapy sessions longer than the standard hour at a time that insurance carriers will pay for. For many clients having longer sessions for resourcing and reprocessing results in more efficient work and more rapid improvement.
