Susan Klemmer, LLC is out-of-network and does not participate with any insurance plans. This means you are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing estimating the cost of your care upfront when you schedule your first appointment (or in the case of therapy, after your intake session).
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your non-emergency health care will cost. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 is a federal law stating that health care providers must give patients who don’t have or won’t be using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
This estimate is meant to provide transparency regarding expected medical expenses. The information collected from your Client History Form and your Intake Appointment will be used to create your Good Faith Estimate. As you can imagine, a Good Faith Estimate depends on a number of variables unique to you, including frequency of sessions, length of treatment, and needs/goals. Out of an abundance of caution, your Good Faith Estimate will project treatment for 12 months based on current rates multiplied by the frequency of treatment recommended per month.
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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
