Good Faith Estimate for Health Care Items and Services

This Good Faith Estimate for Health Care Items and Services is provided when you pay for mental health services at Mindful Madison Psychotherapy LLC without insurance. You are provided this estimate per the No Surprises Act, which includes an estimated session cost that is effective through December 31st of the calendar year it was issued. A new good faith estimate may be requested at the start of the new calendar year with the updated psychotherapy rate for the type of services you are requesting.

Type of Service

☐ Individual Therapy – Individual one-on-one psychotherapy with a therapist either in person or held virtually for 50-55 minutes.

☐ Couples Therapy – Relationship therapy consists of the members of a relationship meeting with a therapist either in person, or virtually for 60 minutes. Some sessions may be held with one member of the relationship to discuss their personal experience with the relationship, as agreed upon with your therapist. Couples therapy rate applies to all sessions regardless of the number of attendees.

☐ Group Therapy – Group therapy takes place in a setting with multiple participants, either in person or held virtually. Group therapy typically is scheduled for 90 minutes or two hours, depending on the type of group. Group therapy typically is centered around a theme or topic all members can benefit from.

☐ Couples Therapy (90847) with Tim Fredrickson, MS MA LPC185.00

Total Estimated Cost

Total annual estimated costs depend on how often you choose to attend therapy. Frequency should be discussed with your therapist. Typically, therapists see clients at most, once per week, unless a person is experiencing a life event in which they request extra support. The duration of your therapeutic relationship will depend on your goals, progress, and overall general state of mental well-being. A client can “reasonably expect” to be able to attend therapy until their goals are met, they choose to discontinue service, or their therapist has opted to end the therapeutic relationship. Estimated costs are valid for the calendar year ending on December 31st.

Examples of Estimated Cost

Typically, there are 50 “weekly” sessions offered per year (to account for vacations and holidays). A person opting for bi-weekly therapy can expect 26 sessions per calendar year.

☐ If an individual attends therapy weekly for an entire calendar year, they can expect an annual maximum cost of $7500.

☐ If an individual attends therapy bi-weekly for an entire calendar year, they can expect an annual maximum of $3900.

☐ Couples therapy can expect an annual maximum of $9250 for weekly therapy, and $4810 for bi-weekly therapy.

☐ Group therapy runs for a fixed period of time, ranging from 6 to 16 weeks. An individual attending weekly group therapy for a period of six weeks could expect to pay $360, while a 16-week program would cost $960.
