Good Faith Estimate
Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your services may cost.
Under federal law, health care providers generally must provide a Good Faith Estimate to individuals who do not have certain types of health coverage or who choose not to use their insurance to pay for services.
You may request an estimate before scheduling services. In most cases, you should receive a written estimate when you schedule services at least three business days in advance or when you request one.
Your Good Faith Estimate outlines the expected charges for the services anticipated at the time the estimate is prepared. Actual charges may differ if your care needs or services change.
If you receive a bill from a provider that is at least $400 more than that provider’s Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to use the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process.
To learn more about your rights, review the official CMS notice below.

Court Related Services Policy
Protecting the Therapeutic Space
At Affinity Counseling Connections, PLLC, the focus remains entirely on a client’s clinical progress and emotional well-being, not on resolving legal disputes. Our practice does not provide court-ordered counseling, custody evaluations, forensic evaluations, or therapy specifically intended to support legal proceedings.
Our role is to provide a supportive, therapeutic environment where you can focus on healing and meaningful change. If your needs involve court-mandated services, custody matters, forensic evaluations, or other specialized legal services, we may recommend that you seek a provider with appropriate training and experience in those areas.
If legal or court-related concerns arise during treatment and fall outside the scope of our services, we will discuss appropriate next steps and, when appropriate, recommend other providers or ask that you consult with an attorney to find a provider specifically trained for court-involved cases. If it is determined during your counseling that your case is a court related case, you will be asked to contact another provider.
Please note that although our practice does not specialize in court-related services, we may be legally required to respond to certain legal requests. Please review the Legal and Subpoena Fees section below for more information.
Legal and Subpoena Fees
In the event that Affinity Counseling Connections, PLLC is subpoenaed to provide services in a court case, an hourly rate of $350 applies. This fee reflects the professional time and resources required to respond, including reviewing and preparing records, completing required documentation, communicating with legal parties, and participating in legal proceedings. The fee for copies of information/documentation for court purposes is billed at $25 per 10 pages. Please note that an appropriate signed release must be on file before any communication-written or otherwise- can occur with attorneys, probation officers, or other legal representatives.
Most importantly, the $350 hourly fee accounts for the time required away from the office and the impact on scheduled clinical work, including time spent preparing for or participating in legal proceedings and appointments that may need to be rescheduled.
It is important to understand that court-related services can be complex and time-consuming, and that these fees are intended to cover the time and resources that are required to provide these services. If you have any questions about our fees for court-related services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you do not agree with this, please check with your attorney for another provider. Please contact Affinity Counseling Connections, PLLC to discuss the scope of the request and any applicable fees before proceeding.
