Good Faith Estimates

You have  the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”  explaining  how much your  medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare  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.

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 healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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
