Credit Card Requirement
LightWorks requires clients to provide a credit card to be kept on file. Having a credit card on file helps us process fees promptly, without interrupting your appointment time or delaying sessions due to outstanding balances. LightWorks will always provide documentation of charges, and you may update your payment method at any time. Our goal is to make the financial side of services as simple and predictable as possible—so you can focus on what matters most: your well-being.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical or mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers must give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services when you schedule an appointment or upon request. If you schedule a service at least 3 business days in advance, you can request a written estimate of the expected charges. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. For questions or to request a Good Faith Estimate, please contact our office.
For more information, please review LightWorks’ Financial Policy.
