Our practice offers telehealth, also known as telemental health, to provide accessible and convenient psychological services. Telehealth utilizes secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing to conduct therapy and evaluations remotely. This modality allows you to engage in sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own space, eliminating travel time and logistical constraints. It ensures continuity of care, particularly beneficial for individuals with scheduling limitations, mobility challenges, or those residing in remote areas. We prioritize your privacy and security, adhering to strict confidentiality standards to maintain the integrity of your therapeutic experience. Telehealth offers a flexible and effective alternative, allowing you to prioritize your mental health without compromising convenience or privacy

Understanding Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a ‘Good Faith Estimate’ detailing the anticipated costs of your psychological services. Under federal law, we are required to provide this estimate to clients who are paying out-of-pocket or not utilizing their insurance benefits.

• What is a Good Faith Estimate?
  • It’s a written estimate of the total expected cost for your non-emergency psychological services.
• Your Rights:
  • You are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate at least one business day before your scheduled appointment.
  • You can request a Good Faith Estimate at any time before scheduling a service.
  • If your final bill exceeds the Good Faith Estimate by $400 or more, you have the right to dispute the charges.
• Important:
  • Please retain a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

Cancelation policy: You will be charged the full fee for canceled or rescheduled sessions with less than 24 hours’ notice. In the event of an unavoidable conflict or emergency, we may be able to make other arrangements to avoid the cancelation fee.

We reserve your appointment time just for you. We carefully limit the number of patients we work with at any given time to ensure we can serve you best.

At the beginning of therapy or an assessment, our providers will carefully review the limits of confidentiality with you. You will also be given the space to ask questions, as we want to make sure you are well informed and comfortable with everything. The relationship between you and your mental health provider is like the old saying about Vegas: ”what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” (with a few caveats explained below). For the most part, therapy is confidential, and our providers will not share information. However, there are legal and ethical mandates that sometimes require us to share information outside of the therapy space. These are as follows:

1. If your provider believes you are going to seriously harm yourself or if you have threatened to harm someone else.
2. If any current or past abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or vulnerable/dependent adult is disclosed. Our licensed providers are all mandated reporters, and we have to report this information to the appropriate authorities to investigate.
3. If we are required by a Judge or a court to provide notes or documentation.

*Should any of these situations arise, we will immediately discuss it with you and invite you to be a part of the process for reporting. Our goal is transparency.

There are also times when you may wish for our providers to communicate with other people about your treatment. We cannot do this without your written consent. In the instance that you would want us to speak with another healthcare provider or perhaps a past therapist, we would discuss this in detail with you before allowing you to decide whether you would like to provide written consent for us to do so.

At Anima Sana Clinic, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your health information. We adhere strictly to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal law designed to safeguard your Protected Health Information (PHI).

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA sets national standards to protect the privacy of your medical and mental health records. It ensures that your PHI, which includes any information that can identify you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health, is kept confidential.

How We Protect Your Information:

• Confidentiality: We maintain strict confidentiality of your records and communications. Information shared during therapy sessions is kept private, except in specific circumstances required by law (e.g., imminent harm to self or others, child abuse, or court order).
• Secure Technology: For telehealth sessions, we utilize HIPAA-compliant platforms that employ encryption and security measures to protect your data during transmission.
• Limited Access: Only authorized personnel involved in your care have access to your PHI.
• Written Policies: We have comprehensive written policies and procedures in place to ensure HIPAA compliance.
• Notice of Privacy Practices: You will receive a Notice of Privacy Practices that explains your rights under HIPAA and how we use and disclose your PHI.
• Secure Record Keeping: All physical and electronic records are stored securely, with restricted access.
• Employee Training: Our staff receives ongoing training on HIPAA regulations and best practices.

Your Rights Under HIPAA:

• You have the right to access and obtain a copy of your PHI.
• You have the right to request amendments to your PHI if you believe it is inaccurate.
• You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures of your PHI.
• You have the right to request restrictions on how we use or disclose your PHI.
• You have the right to file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been1 violated.

We understand that your mental health information is sensitive, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security. If you have any questions about HIPAA or our privacy practices, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Above all else we are invested in keeping folks safe. Please bookmark this page and keep it handy. Life gets hard for everyone at one point or another and we want you to have easy access to every resource possible.
