Good Faith Estimate

Effective date: January 1, 2025 · In accordance with the No Surprises Act

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

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 take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

This estimate applies to clients who are uninsured or choosing not to use their insurance. If you are using insurance, your costs will be determined by your plan.
