No Surprises Act & Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost if you are paying out-of-pocket (without using insurance).
What This Means for You
-
If you are not using insurance
-
If you are choosing not to use your insurance
-
If you are considered a self-pay client
You have the right to receive a written estimate of the expected cost of services before you begin treatment.
Your Good Faith Estimate Will Include:
-
The cost per session
-
The frequency of sessions (if known)
-
The expected length of treatment (when possible)
-
Any additional anticipated fees
Please note: The Good Faith Estimate is based on the information available at the time it is created. It does not include unexpected or unforeseen costs that may arise during treatment.
If You Receive a Bill That Is Higher Than Your Estimate
If you are billed at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
