Fees

Our out-of-network psychiatric clinic offers greater flexibility and autonomy in the care we provide. By not being tied to insurance networks, we can focus entirely on your individual needs, without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. This allows us to offer more personalized, comprehensive treatment and spend the time necessary to fully understand and address your mental health concerns. While we understand that insurance coverage is important, our out-of-network approach ensures we can provide the highest quality of care, prioritize your well-being, and maintain the privacy and trust that is essential for effective therapy. We believe in providing transparent pricing, so you know exactly what to expect, and in creating a comfortable, accessible environment that prioritizes your mental health and well-being.

In compliance with the No Surprises Act (NSA) that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers including psychiatrists and therapists are required to notify patients of their federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” The purpose of the Act is to protect patients from unexpected medical bills.  This Act requires that clinicians notify patients of their federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network psychiatrist, if you are uninsured, or if you elect not to use your insurance. 

As an out-of-network psychiatrist, Dr. Fawcett is required to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” of the cost of services rendered to patients who request this in advance to obtaining non-emergent services. This estimate of anticipated costs is particularly challenging in mental health care due to difficulty in diagnosing before evaluating a patient and predicting the length of treatment and appropriate appointment intervals in advance to exacerbations in psychiatric illness. 

Good Faith Estimite will always be sent via the patient portal at the time the initial appointment is confirmed.
