  • What are some Mental Health Facts for Diverse Populations? (American Psychiatric Association)
    Mental Health in U.S. • Approximately 18% of US adults have a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, and approximately 4% of adults have a serious mental illness. 1 • Mental and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of disability in the U.S., accounting for 13.6% of all years of life lost to disability and premature death. 2 • Mental disorders are among the top most costly health conditions for adults 18 to 64 in the U.S., along with cancer and trauma-related disorders. 3 • An estimated 43% of people with any mental illness receive mental health treatment/counseling. 4 Increasingly Diverse Population The U.S. population is continuing to become more diverse. By 2044, more than half of all Americans are projected to belong to a minority group (any group other than non-Hispanic White alone). 5 Mental Health, Diverse Populations and Disparities Most racial/ethnic minority groups overall have similar—or in some cases, fewer—mental disorders than whites. However, the consequences of mental illness in minorities may be long lasting. • Ethnic/racial minorities often bear a disproportionately high burden of disability resulting from mental disorders. • Although rates of depression are lower in blacks (24.6%) and Hispanics (19.6%) than in whites (34.7%), depression in blacks and Hispanics is likely to be more persistent. 6 • People who identify as being two or more races (24.9%) are most likely to report any mental illness within the past year than any other race/ethnic group, followed by American Indian/Alaska Natives (22.7%), white (19%), and black (16.8%). • American Indians/Alaskan Natives report higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol dependence than any other ethic/racial group. • White Americans are more likely to die by suicide than people of other ethnic/racial groups.

  • What is a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act?
    Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” detailing the potential charges for psychotherapy services. This estimate gives you a general idea of the costs involved, though the exact number of sessions you may need can vary. Your total cost will depend on the number of sessions, your unique circumstances, and the services provided. This estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to any services. You can always discuss and adjust your treatment plan with your therapist. For adults, each session costs $175, and for minors/adolescents, it's $200 per session. For example, if you attend one session per week, the estimated monthly cost would be $700 for adults and $800 for minors/adolescents. Over three months, this would be $2,100 for adults and $2,400 for minors/adolescents. If your actual charges significantly exceed this estimate (by $400 or more), you have the right to dispute the bill. You can contact your provider to negotiate or seek financial assistance. Additionally, you can initiate a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) within 120 days of the original bill. There is a $25 fee for this process. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019. Feel free to discuss any questions or concerns about your treatment plan or this estimate with your provider at any time.
