Good Faith Estimate Notice

Last updated: January 29, 2025

Good Faith Estimate

Beginning January 1, 2022, federal laws regulating client care have been updated to include the “No Surprises” Act. Under the law, healthcare 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 called a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE), explaining how much your medical care will cost.

This new regulation is designed to provide patients with transparency regarding their expected medical expenses and to protect them from surprises when they receive their medical bills. It allows patients to understand how much their health care will cost before they receive services.

There are a number of factors that make It challenging to provide an estimate on how long it will take for a client to complete therapeutic treatment, and much depends on the individual client and their goals in seeking therapy. Some clients are satisfied with a reduction in symptoms, while others continue longer because it feels beneficial to do so. Others begin to schedule less frequently and may continue to come in when issues arise. Ultimately, as the client, it is your decision when to stop therapy.

At Insideout Living, Inc., we must provide a diagnosis for all clients for both ethical, legal, and insurance reasons—as well as required by the “No Surprises Act." A formal diagnosis occurs after an assessment has been completed. That will take place 1-3 sessions after beginning psychotherapy. If you choose to decline a formal diagnosis, we will not update the GFE. It is within your rights to decline a diagnosis per state and federal guidelines.

Insideout Living, Inc. recognizes the uniqueness of every client’s treatment needs.

How long you need to engage in therapy and how often you attend sessions will be influenced by many factors, including:

  • Your schedule and life circumstances

  • Therapist availability

  • Ongoing life challenges

  • The nature of your specific challenges and how you address them

  • Personal finances

You and your therapist will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy and will work together to determine when you have met your goals and are ready for discharge, and/or a new “Good Faith Estimate” will be issued should your frequency or needs change.

Good Faith Estimate

The “Good Faith Estimate” requires practitioners to provide an exact estimate, not a range. Out of an abundance of caution and transparency, we will only quote weekly appointments.

  • 90791: Intake session ($225)

  • 90837: Individual session ($185)

  • 90847: Family/Couples psychotherapy session ($225)

  • 96130: Psychological evaluation session ($325)

  • LL0000: Lisa Lackey Coaching ($292)

  • SL: Steve Lackey Coaching ($225)

An exact estimate for the entire course of your treatment will vary depending on the frequency and duration of your treatment. After the initial assessment, your therapist will better be able to give you a more comprehensive estimate. We look forward to talking with you and answering any questions you may have about the “No Surprises” Act and Good Faith Estimates.
