You have the right to receive a written estimate of what your care will cost if you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance.
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.
Health care providers are required to give patients who are uninsured, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
This applies if you do not have health insurance, or if you have insurance but choose not to use it for your care with us. If you are using insurance, your costs are instead governed by your plan's benefits, deductible and copay.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy and medical services. You can ask us for one before you schedule, and we will also provide one when you schedule care.
Because ongoing therapy and medical care are open-ended, our estimate describes the expected charge per session or visit and the anticipated frequency and duration of care, so you can see the expected cost over a period of time.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Contact our office and we will prepare a written Good Faith Estimate for you. Asking for an estimate does not commit you to scheduling care.
