Good Faith Estimate Notice & Records

PATIENT RIGHTS

Good Faith Estimate Notice

  • Under the new federal No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy.

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

  • You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before your first session, or at any time during treatment.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. So you might want to save a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate if you get one.

  • For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate or www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
