Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost
Under federal law, health care providers must give people who are uninsured, or who are not using insurance for their care, a written estimate of the expected charges for medical and mental health services. This is called a Good Faith Estimate.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any services that are not using insurance. This includes psychotherapy sessions.
You may ask me for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule, or at any time.
If you schedule a service at least three business days in advance, you will receive an estimate in writing within one business day of scheduling. If you schedule at least ten business days in advance, you will receive it within three business days. If you simply ask for one, you will receive it within three business days of asking.
If you receive a bill that is at least four hundred dollars more than the Good Faith Estimate for that provider, you may dispute the bill through a federal process. You must start that process within one hundred twenty calendar days of the date on the bill. A small administrative fee applies, set each year by the federal government. Disputing a bill will not affect the quality of your care.
Keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
