Good Faith Estimate

Beginning January 1, 2022 all state-licensed health care providers are required to give a Good Faith Estimate to all continuing and new patients who are either uninsured or are not planning to submit a claim to their insurance for the treatment they seek. This is part of the No Surprises Act that was passed late last year. The act is intended to reduce unexpected medical bills for medical services. For example, this act should help you be informed of potential costs if you were to receive care from an in-network hospital but an out-of-network medical provider. Ultimately, this act is designed help you to be more informed about and advocate for your medical care and pricing.

This is a new law, and it is not entirely clear how psychologists and mental health practitioners are impacted. In consideration of this, when any updates are available, we will update this page appropriately.

What does this mean?

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains the costs for your mental health care.

When you request a Good Faith Estimate, it will be provided to you at least one business day before our scheduled appointment. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling.

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

Be sure to save the provided Good Faith Estimate. If you are an established patient, we will retain a copy in your records.
