Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Peaceful Healing will always tell you what you will owe for services prior to your visit if you are out of network. We will put this in writing to you in an email as well as tell you over the phone what your responsibility will be. 

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 bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.  You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises

The first session is a one-hour, initial counseling evaluation. This will consist of the client coming into the treatment room to discuss their concerns about their mental health. 

For children under the age of 12, parents will be asked to join the first 30 minutes of the evaluation to discuss their concerns regarding their child's behavior. 

If you or your child are discharging from a higher level of care or another facility, please have the facility fax your file to our office for continuity of care. You can have them fax your paperwork at 708.590.6573. You can also bring your paperwork to your first appointment, if you would prefer.

Here at Peaceful Healing Counseling Services, PLLC, we completely understand that life happens and you will need to cancel from time-to-time. However, out of respect for the staff and other clients, it is important to be prompt about canceling or rescheduling your sessions should you need to do so.

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled time. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment time, you will be charged a $100.00 late cancellation fee. If you fail to call and miss your appointment (no call/no show), you will be charged a $125.00 no-show fee. These fees are non-negotiable.

If you cancel more than 2 consecutive times, then the therapist may remove you from their schedule until a better time and day can be determined that works for your schedule. We would like to accommodate you so that you can be consistent with your sessions. Therapy is most beneficial when it is consistent. 

Peaceful Healing Counseling Services, PLLC reserves the right to modify, amend, or change its cancellation policy at any time, without prior notice or consent, at the discretion of the practice. Such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting or notification to clients. 

Clients are encouraged to regularly review policy terms to ensure awareness of any modifications. By continuing to engage in services, clients agree to comply with the most current version of the cancellation policy. Should any questions arise, clients are advised to contact the practice for further clarification.

You will be provided a link to create your patient portal account. From there, you will be able to complete the necessary intake forms.

For your convenience, we have a waiting room with magazines and relaxing music while you wait. You are also more than welcome to run an errand or go to the local coffee shop to grab a quick bite. If you choose to leave the facility while your child is in therapy, please note that you will need to be back by :45 to the hour so we can provide you with any updates from the session. If you are late to picking up your child (you arrive at the top of the next hour or later), you may be charged a late pick-up fee of $25.
