3. I am happy to provide you with questions to ask your insurance company

Effective January 1, 2022, 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, including psychotherapy.

-You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services.

-Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service.  You can also ask your health care provider 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 

1. Both!  Currently I am offering telehealth and in-person appointments. I will continue to offer telehealth services after the pandemic

1. I offer a no cost, no obligation 20 minute virtual consultation appointment to help both us determine if we would be a good “fit”.  You can this through my website by selecting “request appointment” or send a message through “contact me”.   This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have!

1. It’s very simple! All you need is a device with a camera and internet connection. I recommend using google chrome and being connected to wifi, not cell data. Before our first appointment, I will send you the necessary forms to complete and I will send you a link to join your secure, telehealth appointment. I am happy to answer any questions you may have!

1. All clients are required to give 24 hours notification by email, text or voice mail for cancellations, or are otherwise considered “late cancellations.” For late cancellations, clients are responsible for payment of full session fee at the clinicianʼs discretion.
2. A fee is never charged if the clinician is unable to attend sessions (i.e. injury or illness, or practitioner time off). Clients are never held responsible to pay for a cancelled appointment when the clinician/practitioner is unavailable to meet for any reason.

1. As Licensed Clinical Social Workers, we are bound by the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics to dutifully keep all information you tell us as a client confidential unless you authorize, in writing, our release of your information to specified parties for specified reasons. There are exceptions to this, where we have a duty to report as specified by North Carolina law:
   1. Cases where a client poses an imminent threat to their own safety
   2. Cases where a client poses an imminent threat to the safety of others
   3. Cases where a minor client or client’s minor child is suspected of being neglected and/or abused by a parent, guardian, custodian, or caretaker
   4. Cases where a disabled or elder adult client or ward of a client is suspected of being abused, neglected, and/or exploited by their caretaker

1. This practice is not a crisis services provider. This means that clients experiencing a psychiatric, mental health, or behavioral emergency need to contact one of the following:
   1. Call 911
   2. Nearest emergency department (ask for a mental health evaluation)
   3. Local Managed Care Organization (e.g. Alliance Behavioral Health Care, Cardinal Innovations)
