Under federal law (the No Surprises Act), clients who are uninsured or who choose not to use their insurance benefits have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the expected cost of their services.
If you are paying out-of-pocket for therapy, you are entitled to a written estimate of the anticipated charges for your care. The Good Faith Estimate outlines the expected cost of services based on the information known at the time it is provided. While it is not a contract and actual services may vary depending on your needs and progress, it is designed to help you understand and plan for the cost of care.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate at any time before or during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill through a federal resolution process.
For questions or to request your Good Faith Estimate, please contact me.
