Good Faith Estimates 

Effective January 1, 2022, under section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Services Act (the “No Surprises Act”) you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. 

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
