Appointments & Office Hours:
Office hours are by appointment only. Appointment hours are typically between 9AM-2PM. In the event that I am booked or unable to offer you an appointment at the time of your call, I will provide you with multiple referrals to help you secure a therapist that you may find as a good fit and that fits your availability!
Sessions are 55 minutes in length and typically occur weekly, however, after an initial meeting, we can determine what is appropriate for you and your specific needs.
When scheduling an appointment, that time slot is designated to you and you alone. I understand that life can get in the way, and you may find you need to reschedule. I require at least 24 hours notice to reschedule an appointment.
Insurance:
Jennifer Whitfield is an in-network provider for BCBS/Florida Blue, Cigna , and United Healthcare, Spring Health EAP and Lyra Health EAP.
If you have an insurance other than the carriers listed above, you may be able to submit a claim under your out-of-network benefits. If you wish to attempt to obtain insurance reimbursement, I can provide you with a receipt of treatment that you can submit to your insurance carrier. Sometimes they reimburse the bill completely, or partially. However, reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.

If using insurance and you have a co-pay, your co-pay is due at the time of service.

Good Faith Estimate for Self-Pay Clients:
Good Faith Estimate of Services In accordance with the “No Surprises Act”, Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, effect 01/01/2022, healthcare providers are required to provide a “good faith” estimate of expected charges for services to individuals not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a federal health program, both orally and in writing. This paperwork serves as an in writing “good faith” estimate for services rendered. As part of this paperwork, you will also receive a list of potential CPT codes that could prospectively be billed and their full pricing so you will reasonably know the absolute most you could be paying for any given service and what the annual cost may come to. Given the nature of therapy services, typically exact estimates are difficult to predict due to not knowing severity of symptoms, recommended frequency of services, cancellations, unexpected crisis counseling services, length of time of services, and any other variables that could potentially influence payment.
Jennifer Whitfield with Hope Health & Healing Counseling Center, LLC 55 minute full payment self-pay fee is $130.00. Student sliding scale rates are $100.00 for the 55 minutes.
The most commonly used codes are as follows:
CPT Code 90791 Biopsychosocial Assessment
CPT Code 90837 Individual Psychotherapy
CPT Code 90847 Family/Couple Psychotherapy

$130.00 x 52= $6,760 potential total cost in a 12-month period.
$100 x 52= $5,200 potential total cost in a 12-month period.
Disclaimer: This “good faith” estimate shows that costs of services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs. This estimate is based on the information known at the time the estimate was created. The estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.

If you are billed for significantly more than this “good faith” estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You can contact us and notify that the charges are higher than the “good faith” estimate and ask us to update the bill or the estimate.
