Good Faith Estimate Notice
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your mental health care services. This estimate will include the anticipated costs of services provided.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services or at any time during treatment.
A Good Faith Estimate is not a guarantee of final charges and does not obligate you to receive services. Therapy needs, recommended services, and session frequency may change over time, and updated estimates can be provided upon request.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
