Fees for Counseling/Therapy Services

Every practitioner on this website has their own independent practice and therefore makes independent decisions about setting their professional fees and whether or not to be participate as an in-network provider with any specific insurance company. 

Generally, practitioners with state professional licenses (Psychologist, LMFT, LCSW, LPC) who are not participating providers are considered by insurance companies to be “out-of-network providers”.  This means that clients pay upfront for services received and can then submit a superbill receipt to the insurance company for reimbursement. Deductible and reimbursement amounts vary widely across plans. If you are interested in pursuing reimbursement, we suggest you reach out to your specific insurance carrier to learn more about your individual plan. 

Please know that every practitioner at the center has a commitment to offering a percentage of their services at a reduced fee, to make our services available to more people. If a specific practitioner’s full fee poses a financial hardship, let them know. If they have reduced fee slots still available, they will let you know. Several practitioners also offer their services at a reduced fee through the Open Path Collective, which offers reduced fee therapy to people with financial need (Here is a link to their website: https://openpathcollective.org/). 

Additionally, individual practitioners offer supervision and mentoring to new professionals who offer services at a lower fee. If a practitioners at The Resiliency Center is currently mentoring new professionals, they may offer you this possibility. New professionals often bring a fresh perspective, creativity, and enthusiasm. 

It is important to us that you receive the care you need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any counseling request. If what you need and what we offer is not a match, we will do our best to offer meaningful suggestions and referrals. 

 

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 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.
