No Surprises Act

Your right to a Good Faith Estimate.

What this means

Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of any non-emergency health care services, including psychotherapy.

Healthcare providers must give clients who don't have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for services. You have the right to receive this estimate in writing at least one business day before your service.

How estimates work here

For clients paying privately, a Good Faith Estimate is provided in writing prior to the first session and any time fees change. Because the length of therapy varies, the estimate reflects expected per-session costs and a reasonable range based on what we discuss during consultation.

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

Keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate in a safe place. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.
