Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like psychotherapy sessions, intake evaluations, and clinical consultations.

• Ensure your therapist gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask for an 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.

• Save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
