Good Faith Estimates

The "No Surprises Act" went into effect on 1/1/22.  The intention of this law is to protect individuals from being billed unexpectedly for out-of-network healthcare.  Therefore, this notice is relevant for clients (or potential clients) who are paying out of pocket or for those who pay up front fees and then seek reimbursement from their insurance plans.  For these clients, "Good Faith Estimates" are included in your intake paperwork which outline expected charges. Please see the notice below regarding your rights on this matter.

• You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and 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 medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.​

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.​

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
