I do not currently accept insurance. If you are wanting to utilize insurance for out-of network benefits, here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance/know beforehand.

  • Check your out of network benefits

    • These are typically in the Summary of Benefits, included in a member information packet or on your insurance company website. Keep an eye out for these terms:

    • Out-of-network deductible: This is the amount of money you have to pay before you are eligible for reimbursement.

  • Here are some questions you can ask when you call:

    • Do I have any out-of-network benefits?

    • How much is my out-of-network deductible?

    • How much will I reimbursed once I reach my out-of-network
      deductible?

    • Will I need a referral in order to see a
      provider that is out-of-network?

    • How can I submit a claim to be reimbursed?

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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
