Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, individuals who do not have health insurance or who choose not to use their health insurance are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of health care services.

This Good Faith Estimate provides an estimate of the charges that are reasonably expected for psychotherapy services provided by Otilia Psychotherapy based on the information available at the time this estimate is prepared.

Because psychotherapy is individualized, the frequency and duration of treatment may vary based on your needs, goals, progress, and clinical circumstances. This estimate is provided for financial planning purposes and is not a recommendation that you attend a specific number of sessions.

Standard Fees

Initial Evaluation

Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation — CPT Code 90791
Fee: $225

The initial evaluation allows us to discuss your presenting concerns, treatment history, goals, and needs and determine whether ongoing therapy is appropriate.

Individual Psychotherapy

45-Minute Individual Psychotherapy Session — CPT Code 90834
Fee: $225 per session

Most clients begin therapy with weekly sessions. The frequency of sessions will be determined collaboratively based on your individual needs and treatment goals.

Estimated Cost of Ongoing Therapy

Weekly therapy: Approximately 4–5 sessions per month
Estimated monthly cost: $900–$1,125

Biweekly therapy: Approximately 2–3 sessions per month
Estimated monthly cost: $450–$675

These estimates are based on the current fee of $225 per session. Your actual costs will depend on the number and frequency of sessions you attend.

Important Information

This Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services from Otilia Psychotherapy.

You are not required to attend a predetermined number of therapy sessions. Your treatment frequency will be discussed collaboratively and may change as your needs and goals change.

The estimate does not include services that were not reasonably expected at the time the estimate was prepared, including services that may become necessary because of changes in your clinical needs or circumstances.

My current fee is $225 per 45-minute psychotherapy session. You will be notified in advance of any changes to my standard fee.

If you have questions about your estimated costs or your treatment frequency, you are encouraged to discuss them with me at any time.

Your Right to Dispute a Bill

If you are billed for substantially more than the amount estimated in your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill through the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process, as applicable under federal law.

This Good Faith Estimate is provided for informational and financial planning purposes and does not constitute a guarantee of the number or frequency of services that will be provided.
