Good Faith Estimate
Under the Federal No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 – effective January 1, 2022), you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate,” which explains how much your medical care will cost. Under this law, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
*Please note that this Good Faith Estimate is only to offer transparency about your therapy costs. It does not commit you to seeing your therapist for a certain number of sessions or for a certain duration of time. How frequently you meet with your therapist, and how long you come to therapy is solely your decision.
Things You Should Know:
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- It is your responsibility to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
