​

Hopeful Waters Wellness, PLLC does not accept insurance. 

​

 We can provide an invoice called a Superbill to you that some insurance companies accept for reimbursement of out-of-network reimbursement.  We cannot guarantee reimbursement and you are responsible for the full payment at the time of services.  It is your responsibility to check with and work with your insurance company regarding your out-of-network benefits.  Please note that in order to use out-of-network benefits, the insurance company will require a diagnosis and may require access to all of your medical records.  Some insurance plans allow for a single case exception that might pay for services if there is not someone in your area who provides the needed services.

Good Faith Estimate Notice (No Surprises Act)

What is the No Surprises Act? 

​The No Surprises Act aims to increase price transparency and reduce the likelihood that clients receive a "surprise" medical bill by requiring that providers inform clients of an estimated expected charge for a services before the service is provided.

​​

Starting January 1, 2022, state-licensed or certified health care providers, including behavioral health care providers, like myself are required by law to give uninsured and self-pay clients a good faith estimate of costs for services when scheduling care or when the client requests an estimate.

​

The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service.  The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.

​

You have the right to request a hard copy of the Good Faith Estimate, and you have a right to engage in a dispute resolution process if the actual costs of services included in your estimate significantly exceed what is in the estimate.

​

The Good Faith Estimate is NOT a contract.

​

While surprise costs are not something I generally encounter in my practice, you should know that your Good Faith Estimate will not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.  However, if you are billed for significantly more than your Good Faith Estimate for the services indicated on the estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill using the following dispute resolution options:

​

What if I need to dispute my Good Faith Estimate?

​

  • Contact me and let me know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.

  • Start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process withing 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date of the original bill.

  • There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process.  If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate.  If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
