Good Faith Estimate "Template"
Dear Simple Practice,
PLEASE improve this Good Faith Estimate form so that it is user-friendly. The last thing my clients need is another intake document. However, since this is now something we're required to provide it needs to be clear and simple for both the therapist creating the document and for the client who doesn't even care because I already stated the fee verbally. They don't need to be overwhelmed with additional documentation. For as long as I've been in practice, I have always stated in my intake consult what the fee is because we need to be in agreement before we even get started. That's how I was trained. That has always been the legal requirement to be licensed. This form is stupid because the client already knows what the fee is. So please just design this better so that it is clear and simple, Simple.

We have same issue. GFE form should be for new self pay clients and we have another form for just Verifications of Benefits for Insurance clients that we want to be used appropriately in addition to this new Good Faith Estimates Form. We editted the form by saving the GFE form and and editting it (like what Simple Practice instructed us to do), but now it's only accessible thru the Clinician "Assessmet" Notes and not under the "NEW" button scroll down menu which is inaccessible to our Coordinator/ Biller for when they need to verify the clients insurance. Please let us know if you had found a solution to this because most of our clients insurances had rolled over and needs re-verification and this form cannot be accessed by the BIller/ Practice Manager to use.
