GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Total Expected Charges

A client can expect to be billed at the time of each session. The rate of each session is as stated online and in the Practice Policies. The Practice Policies can be found in your Client Portal. Clients are also entitled to request a Good Faith Estimate at any time.

Insurance

Simply Being does not accept any form of insurance and is not an in-network provider.

Dr. Barbie Hessel is able to provide a monthly superbill to any client who wishes to submit an out-of-network claim to their insurance. Simply Being can not guarantee that the insurance will reimburse payment. Clients are strongly encouraged to check with their insurance provider to determine any possible reimbursement from said insurance company.

Dr. Katelyn Kalstein is not able to offer a superbill to clients at this time.

Disclaimer

This 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.

In good faith, 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.

To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
