Did you know that under the law, healthcare providers must provide clients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services? This information can be beneficial for those going through divorce, custody negotiations, or preparing for any number of life-changing situations.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of 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 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. Be sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
