Rates and Insurance

In-Network with major insurances:

Aetna

BCBS

Cigna

Oscar Health

United Healthcare

Self-Pay Options & Out of Network Benefits:

Therapy is available both through out-of-network benefits and on a self-pay basis. Many clients choose the option that best fits their needs, preferences, and level of flexibility.

If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement from your insurance. I use a platform called Thrizer to help streamline this process by automatically submitting claims, making it easier to access your benefits without managing paperwork on your own.

Some clients prefer not to use insurance at all, which allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and freedom in treatment without insurance requirements or limitations.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE) Notice for Self-Pay Clients

 

As required by the No Surprises Act (Effective January 1, 2022)

At South Florida EMDR & Counseling, we believe in transparency and clarity regarding the cost of your mental health care. If you are uninsured or choose not to use your insurance benefits, you are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected cost of services.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers must give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the total expected costs of non-emergency medical services, including therapy.

You have the right to receive a GFE in writing at least one business day before your scheduled appointment. This estimate will include the expected cost of sessions, the frequency of services (if known), and any additional fees related to your care.

Your Rights:

  • You have the right to receive a written GFE explaining how much your care will cost.

  • You can request a GFE before scheduling any service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill through the Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Services at Balanced Mind Wellness Center that Qualify for a GFE:

  • Individual psychotherapy sessions (self-pay)

  • EMDR Intensive services

  • Anchored Women self-growth group

  • Any other service where you are not using insurance for payment
