Understanding Your Expected Costs
DelMar Behavioral Health & Recovery LLC believes that clients should have clear information about the financial aspects of behavioral health services.
For individuals who are uninsured or who are not using insurance to pay for applicable services, federal requirements may provide a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for certain healthcare services.
The purpose of a Good Faith Estimate is to provide an estimate of expected costs based on the information available at the time the estimate is prepared.
Who May Receive a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate may apply to individuals who are:
- Uninsured
- Not using insurance to pay for the applicable service
Whether a Good Faith Estimate applies in a particular situation depends on the service and applicable requirements.
What the Estimate Means
A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of expected charges. It is not necessarily a guarantee of the final amount that will be charged.
Actual costs may differ when circumstances change, additional services are requested or determined to be appropriate, or other factors affect the services provided.
Services and Estimated Charges
Applicable private-pay services and fees should be confirmed with DelMar before services begin.
The master DelMar website content identifies private-pay services and fees as an area requiring confirmation and periodic review before publication.
For this reason, clients should contact DelMar directly for the current applicable fee information and an estimate based on the services being considered.
What May Affect Your Costs
Expected charges may depend on factors such as:
- Type of service
- Length or frequency of services
- Clinician
- Location
- Telehealth or in-person format
- Additional services requested or provided
- Applicable policies
- Changes in the anticipated course of care
Requesting an Estimate
If you are uninsured or intend to pay privately and would like information about expected costs, contact DelMar before receiving services.
We can provide applicable information based on the service being considered and the circumstances known at the time.
If Your Services Change
A Good Faith Estimate is based on information available when it is prepared.
If your anticipated services change, the expected costs may also change.
Clients should ask questions whenever they are uncertain about a fee, estimate, payment responsibility, or change in services.
