RIGHT TO RECEIVE 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. Under this 2022 law, healthcare providers must provide patients without insurance, or who are self-paying or choosing not to use insurance, with an estimated bill for services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy visits.
The Good Faith Estimate is to be provided in writing at least 1 business day before you receive services. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling an appointment.
If you receive a bill over $400 above the Good Faith Estimate, you can formally dispute the bill.
Be sure to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
