Psychotherapy Service Confidentiality and Privacy Policy
1. Confidentiality
The law protects the relationship between a client and a Therapist. Information shared is confidential and cannot be disclosed without written permission.
2. Exceptions to Confidentiality
Mandatory Reporting: I am required by law to report any suspected child abuse, dependent adult, and/or elder abuse. This will be communicated to authorities immediately.
Duty to Warn: I have to notify police and inform the intended victim if a client has intent and a plan to cause serious harm to another person(s).
Suicidal Intent: If my client has a plan with intent to harm themselves, I will assess if we can work together and create a safety plan. If my client refuses to, or is not able to cooperate in a way that can ensure their safety, I will take the next steps that can include reaching out to the emergency contact, and/or contacting local law enforcement.
Email and Phone Policy
I attempt to return all calls and emails within one business day. If there is a life-threatening situation, please call 911 or refer to my resources page for additional support.
Good Faith Estimate
1. Your Rights
By law, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE), which explains how much medical care will cost. Under this law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical records and services.
2. Estimate of Costs
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This generally includes costs such as medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees, which don’t necessarily apply to therapy. As it relates to therapy, we discuss upfront your fee for therapy service. However, the ‘No Surprises Act’ wants providers to make total fees clear.
3. Requesting a GFE
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill for $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill. It is also highly recommended that you keep a copy of your GFE for your records.
4. Further Information
For questions or more information about your right to a GFE, call 1-800-985-3059 or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
