You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your health care will cost.
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who are not using insurance or who are choosing not to submit a claim to insurance with an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your scheduled service. You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
