Carrie Cole, LMHC

Getting Started:

Before scheduling a first appointment, we will schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation to decide if we are a good fit with one another for therapy. To schedule a phone consultation send me an email with times that you are available for a phone call. It is also helpful to include information regarding your schedule for appointments, and plan for payment with insurance or private pay.

​

My private pay rate is $150.00 for a 55 minute session. 

​

I accept First Choice, Premera and Lifewise Insurance as an in network provider. For all other insurance networks I can bill out of network by providing monthly statements for you to submit to your insurance provider.  

Please call your insurance provider prior to our first meeting to be informed of the following:

• Your yearly deductible

• Your copay or co-insurance

It is your responsibility to learn about your particular insurance plan. The best way to get information on your plan is to call the customer service phone number listed on the back of your insurance card. 

​

Cancelation Policy: 

If you need to cancel an appointment, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the time. If you do not attend your appointment without a 48 hours notice you will be charged a “No Show Fee” at your regular rate. If you call and cancel with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged a “Late Cancelation Fee” at your regular rate.

​

Good Faith Estimate for Out Of Network Care:

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.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate at least 1 business day before your next psychotherapy appointment or other service. I will deliver your Good Faith Estimate electronically using my Client Portal. You can also ask me, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

This Good Faith Estimate explains my rate for services I provide. I will collaborate with you throughout your treatment to determine how often you attend therapy. You can choose to discontinue therapy at any time. You decide how frequently you want to attend therapy. The length of service varies and is largely up to you, for the purpose of this estimate we assume 12 months of treatment. 

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.
