Good Faith Estimate
Your Right to Understand the Cost of Therapy
I believe you deserve transparency when it comes to the cost of your mental health care.
Under the federal No Surprises Act, individuals who do not have health insurance or who choose not to use their insurance generally have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of their expected healthcare costs.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate is a written document outlining the expected cost of your therapy services before receiving care.
You have the right to:
Receive a Good Faith Estimate when scheduling eligible services or upon request.
Request an estimate before scheduling an appointment.
Receive information about the anticipated costs of your care.
Dispute a bill if it is at least $400 more than the Good Faith Estimate provided by a particular provider.
A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not require you to receive services.
How to Request an Estimate
If you are uninsured or paying out of pocket, you may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling therapy.
For appointments scheduled at least three business days in advance, an estimate will be provided within the applicable federal timeframe.
