Good Faith Estimate:

Insurances and Good Faith Estimate

Alchemy Arts Therapy accepts the following insurance options for In-Network coverage:

• Aetna

• United Healthcare/Optum

• Tricare-West (not to be confused with Tri-West, which I am not In-Network with)

• Colorado Access Medicaid

• Colorado Community Health Alliance Medicaid

• Health Colorado Medicaid (managed by Beacon Health)

• Northeast Health Partners Medicaid (managed by Beacon Health)

• Colorado Access CHP+

All other insurance is considered out of network. Payment for these sessions is required up front. An invoice can be provided to you if you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance company directly. Out-of-network costs include $150 for each initial intake session, followed by $135 for each subsequent session. I accept cash or credit card.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health 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 expected charges for medical services including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule your service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate you can dispute the bill. Make sure you can provide a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.

These requirements don’t apply to people with coverage through programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Indian Health Services, Veterans Affairs Health Care, or TRICARE. These programs have other protections against high medical bills.
