​

Insurance:

Play and Wellness Center of Gainesville is not in-network with any major insurance companies. In many cases your out-of-network benefits can cover a significant amount of therapeutic services. Please call your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network benefits.

​

        Here is a list of questions you can ask your insurance provider:

1. What are my “out-of-network, outpatient, mental health benefits” when seeing a licensed mental health counselor?

2. Do I need a referral from my primary care provider (PCP) to receive mental health services?

3. Do I have a deductible, coinsurance, or copay?

4. Have I met my deductible this year? When does my deductible restart?

5. Does pre-authorization apply? (Meaning: does the insurance company have to approve the treatment prior to starting therapy?)

​

***We CANNOT guarantee reimbursement from your insurance.***

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.

​

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
