Explanation of Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

A Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill. If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill. There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.

***Currently, practitioners are required to provide GFEs only to those clients who wish to pay for services solely out of pocket and utilize no insurance benefits (either in or out of network).  Should this requirement change or be updated in the future, Solution-Focused Therapy Services, LLC will comply with all updated legislation.***

InsuranceInformation

Jennifer Byrnes, LPC is considered an "Out of Network" provider for many insurance companies.  This means clients self-pay for their sessions, but there is a possibility of insurance reimbursement depending on each client's specific insurance plan.  However, reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.  Clients who wish to bill their insurance company for services received will be given the necessary paperwork, a "Superbill", completed by the therapist for submission to the insurance company.

​

There are many benefits to clients who do not use insurance to cover the cost of therapeutic services.  The primary benefit is that there is no third party involvement, which provides additional privacy for clients.  Further, no diagnosis is required when insurance billing is unnecessary, and some individuals wish to participate in therapy without a label that may or may not affect the course of treatment.  I'm happy to discuss clients' individual needs and how paying our of pocket may benefit them.
