No Surprises Act
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who are uninsured or not using insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains the anticipated cost of your mental health care services before you begin treatment. This estimate will include the expected costs of psychotherapy sessions and any other reasonably anticipated services provided by the practice.
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 patient-provider dispute resolution process.
For questions about your Good Faith Estimate or your rights under the No Surprises Act, please discuss them with our office or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises for additional information.
Good Faith Estimate
The Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the anticipated cost of treatment based on information available at the start of services. Actual treatment needs, frequency of sessions, and duration of care may change over time, which may affect the total cost of services.
