Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask for a Good Faith Estimate: under the No Surprises Act self-pay clients are entitled to one, and it can cover a planned series of sessions for up to 12 months.
  • Ask about sliding-scale fees; community mental health centers, community health centers and university training clinics often set fees by income.
  • Confirm the intake fee (90791) before the first visit, and ask whether a hospital-based clinic adds a facility fee to each session.
