No Surprises Act
You may obtain a good faith estimate of my (our) charges upon request prior to scheduling
with me (us).
The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith
estimate of the cost of services at my (our) practice. However, Ohio licensing board rules
require me (us) to provide you with the actual cost of my (our) charges in a written informed
consent form to which you must agree prior to my (our) providing services. That will be
available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing. In most cases it
is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined
until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make,
which depends in part on your efforts with the process. You will be free to discontinue
services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with the
informed consent form language.
Although the No Surprises Law says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual
charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges, i.e. if you are
charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided,
that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of licensing board rules, since you will be
agreeing up front to actual charges per session prior to being seen. Dispute information is
available upon request, however any changes to my fees will require a change in the
informed consent form fees, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect,
otherwise the fees will remain in effect for 12 months.
