INSURANCE & SUPERBILLS:
To protect client confidentiality and maintain greater control over your care, I do not accept insurance or participate in any insurance networks. This allows us to work together without the limitations and required disclosures that often come with insurance billing.
However, I can provide a monthly superbill upon request. A superbill is a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance provider to request out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan. Please note that submitting a superbill means sharing a mental health diagnosis with your insurer, and reimbursement is not guaranteed.
If you're interested in using out-of-network benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about:
Your out-of-network mental health coverage
Your deductible and reimbursement rate
Whether telehealth sessions are covered
I'm happy to provide guidance on how superbills work or what information your insurance company may need.
SLIDING SCALE FEES:
At Young Counseling & Consulting, we recognize that financial circumstances can sometimes create barriers to accessing mental health care. In alignment with our commitment to equitable and compassionate care, we offer a limited number of sliding scale fee arrangements based on financial need.
Important Information:
Sliding scale spots are limited and not guaranteed.
Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account individual financial circumstances.
Reduced fees are typically offered for a set period of time, after which the fee will be reassessed.
Clients may be asked to provide basic documentation of income or financial need during the review process.
If you would like to be considered for a sliding scale fee, please let us know during your initial inquiry or consultation. We’re happy to discuss options and determine what’s appropriate and available.
We appreciate your understanding as we strive to balance accessibility with sustainability in our practice.
Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged for the session.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
Missed appointments ("no-shows") will also be charged the full session fee.
Out-of-network reimbursement through insurance does not cover missed or late-cancelled sessions.
I understand that emergencies happen. In rare or extenuating circumstances, exceptions may be made at my discretion.
Thank you for your understanding and respect for this policy, which helps maintain consistency and fairness for all clients.
CANCELLATION & NO-SHOW POLICY:
NO SURPRISES / GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES:
The No Surprises Act was passed in December 2020, under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, with the aim of protecting consumers from receiving unexpected medical bills.
The Good Faith Estimate provision of the No Surprises Act federally mandates that healthcare providers must give clients an estimate of anticipated healthcare items and services, using what is called a “Good Faith Estimate.” This took effect on January 1, 2022.
What is a Good Faith Estimate? It is an estimate of the total expected costs of non-emergency healthcare items or services. It:
Intends to offer predictability & transparency in how much clients will be charged for healthcare services prior to their appointment.
Includes all regularly scheduled appointments (i.e. therapy sessions).
Does NOT include no-shows, late cancellations, or other services related to crisis care, which by definition are unexpected and cannot be predicted for the purpose of compiling a Good Faith Estimate in advance.
May also include consultations with client collateral contacts, fees related to paperwork requests, and other legal and administrative fees related to client care, when such items are scheduled in advance.
As I am not in-network with insurance, I offer Good Faith Estimates that project out 12 months in advance. Together, we will collaborate and mutually determine the frequency of appointments and your estimate will give you a reasonable idea of what to expect in terms of therapy costs for one whole year, based on my current rates.
As a private pay client, if you wish to receive a Good Faith Estimate, please let me know and I will work with you to obtain the best estimate based on your individual needs and update it as required by law.
I support my client's knowing their rights as they pertain to the No Surprises Act. If requested, make sure to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. You can find more information regarding Good Faith Estimates, your rights, or the dispute process here.
