Fees
The Good Faith Estimate: what it says and when you get it
In writing, with your confirmation, before the first session.
Your right to an estimate
Your right to an estimate. You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" of what your care will cost if you don't have insurance or aren't using it. Ask us for one when you schedule, or any time before your session. If your bill is $400 or more above your estimate, you can dispute it. Learn more at cms.gov/nosurprises.
Out of network. We don't participate in any health insurance networks. If your plan has out-of-network mental health benefits, we can give you a monthly statement (a "superbill") to send in. Whether and how much your plan reimburses is between you and your plan; ask them before you start. If you're using out-of-network benefits, the amount we'll charge is available on request before your first session, and we'll give it to you in writing (Public Health Law § 24).
What an estimate contains
- The kind of session and the fee for each one, in full.
- The procedure code a superbill for that kind of session would carry.
- How many weekly sessions the estimate covers: twelve.
- The estimated total, if every one of those weeks goes ahead.
It is a plain written page, not a bill. You pay session by session, at or after each one, and never in advance.
What an estimate says: an individual first session
- Each session, 50 minutesCPT 90834$195
- Weekly sessions the estimate coversthe first and the next eleven12
- Estimated totalif every week goes ahead$2,340
An individual first session: $195 a session, and twelve weekly sessions would come to $2,340. That is the figure the estimate prints; you pay session by session, never in advance.
When it arrives
Every session booked here comes with a written Good Faith Estimate in the confirmation: the fee for each session and what twelve weekly sessions would come to. The law gives a practice one to three business days to send one (45 CFR 149.610); this one sends it with the confirmation.
What an estimate is not
Read these before you rely on one.
- This is an estimate, not a contract, and it doesn't oblige you to book any session.
- It covers the session you booked and the twelve weekly sessions that usually follow; if therapy goes on longer, you get a new estimate.
- It does not include a late-cancellation fee, which is charged only as the cancellation rules say.
- If your bill is $400 or more above this estimate, you can dispute it with the federal government within 120 days of the bill. Keep a copy of this estimate.
If you use out-of-network benefits
If you're using out-of-network benefits, the amount we'll charge is available on request before your first session, and we'll give it to you in writing (Public Health Law § 24).
Federal law also protects you from surprise bills for emergency care, and from out-of-network bills for care at an in-network hospital or center. Those rules don't usually reach a private office practice like this one, which bills only you, at the fee printed here; the federal notice and the complaint contacts are at cms.gov/nosurprises.
These fees apply from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.
