Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care will cost.
Health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical and mental health services.
What this means for you
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy.
You can ask me for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
