Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental health care services will cost.
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to give patients who are uninsured or who are not using insurance an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those services are provided.
What You Should Know:
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any mental health care items or services. This estimate is available upon request or when you schedule services. It includes related costs like therapy sessions, assessments, and any applicable fees.
- If you schedule services at least 3 business days in advance, you will receive a written Good Faith Estimate within 1 business day of scheduling. If you schedule services at least 10 business days in advance, your provider will give you a written estimate within 3 business days. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule services.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
- Be sure to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate and any related bills for your records.
