In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against potential “surprise billing.”

This Act requires that we notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a client is uninsured, or if a client elects not to use their insurance.

Additionally, we are required to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services (attached). It is difficult to determine the true length of treatment for mental health care and each client has a right to decide how long they would like to participate in psychotherapy services. Therefore, attached you will find a fee schedule for the services offered by your therapist. Your clinician will collaborate with you to determine how many sessions you may need.

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.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, 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 http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

Please review the Good Faith Estimate and let your clinician know if you have any questions.

No, we do not currently have any medical prescribers on our staff. To receive a prescription for medication, you will need to meet with a medical provider such as a primary physician, nurse practitioner, or specialist (i.e., psychiatrist).

You may hear counselors speak ill of life coaches sometimes and vice versa, but not here. At Hometown Counseling, we see value in the services Life Coaches, as well as others in helping professions, can offer. We simply want the general public to be clearly, and easily, educated about what all the various names mean and what capabilities they possess.

Put very simply, life coaches do not require formal training or oversight. They can assist with specific skills or niche areas. They are direct and are typically meant to help “fix” issues”

Counselors, in comparison, require higher education degree, licenses, and are supervised by ethics boards. We can help with a depth of concerns and are not as limited in our range of practice. We can assist with trauma, processing, coping skills, and much more.

For additional questions about the differences or to decide which is best for you, feel free to email us at happytohelp@hometowncounseling.com
