Under the No Surprises Act

Your Rights

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of non-emergency psychiatric services if you are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance.

  • If your bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you may dispute the charges.

Estimate of Costs

Because psychiatric treatment varies for each person, your actual cost may differ. The following are common scenarios for self-pay patients:

  • New Patient Evaluation – CPT 99204 + 90833

    • $425 with NP/PA

    • $600 with Psychiatrist

  • Extended Follow-Up Visit – CPT 99214 + 90833 (typically 25 min)

    • $250 with NP/PA

    • $300 with Psychiatrist

Example ScenarioS

  • Scenario A – with Psychiatrist

    • Initial evaluation ($600) + 12 extended follow-ups ($300 each)

    Estimated Total = $4,200

  • Scenario B – with NP/PA

    • Initial evaluation ($425) + 12 extended follow-ups ($250 each)

    Estimated Total = $3,425

Other Professional Services

Additional services may incur separate fees, such as:

  • Completion of forms (e.g., FMLA, disability)

  • Letters or narrative reports

  • Medical records requests

These fees are outlined in our Practice Policies.

Important Notes

  • This estimate is an over-estimation for most patients. Many require fewer visits.

  • You and your provider will decide together how often you should be seen.

  • The estimate does not include any reimbursement you may receive from your insurance for out-of-network claims.

  • Service codes (CPT/HCPCS) listed are examples of common psychiatric services. Your actual codes and charges may vary based on clinical circumstances.

  • This Good Faith Estimate is valid for 12 months from the date it is provided.
