Good faith estimate/ no surprises act
The No Surprises Act (NSA) was established in 2022 to provide new federal protections against surprise medical bills. You now have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
It is always my intent to be as transparent as possible about my service fees and the services I provide. If you ever have any concerns or questions, please feel free to discuss them with me directly.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your therapist, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, 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. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
