Sliding scale
Dr. Parker reserves a limited number of appointments each week for clients experiencing significant financial hardship. Please inform Dr. Parker if this applies to you and you are interested in discussing reduced session fees based on a sliding scale.
Submitting for Out-of-network Reimbursement
Some insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement. Upon your request, paperwork can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement after each session. Please note that your insurance company then has the right to request information about your diagnosis and treatment before rendering payment. If such a request is received, you will be contacted for written authorization.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the law (known as the No Surprises Act), 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 one 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.
