Insurance & Fees
Out-of-pocket costs for clients using insurance often include copays/coinsurance for each visit. These amounts will vary depending on your particular policy. Some clients may also need to pay a deductible before their insurance will cover any amount. If you plan to use insurance, you should verify those details before starting therapy.
​
The Blue Couch does verify and notify all clients of their current insurance status (coinsurance, deductible, etc) however this verification in no way guarantees coverage.
​
Credit card, check or cash accepted. Auto pay can be set up through the electronic health record portal for copays, payments towards your deductible or for private pay. Payment due the week of the service unless other arrangements are made.

No Surprises Act / Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
​
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.
​
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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
​
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
-
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 or call (800) 368-1019.
