You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your healthcare treatment will cost thanks to new legislation that went into effect as of January 1, 2022 (Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act).

Under this law, healthcare providers are required to give those who are uninsured or those not seeking to file an insurance claim an estimate of the expected charges for services. You can ask your healthcare provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule services. If requested, make sure you receive the Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day prior to beginning services. I would recommend saving a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. If you end up receiving a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Please note that this Good Faith Estimate does not account for late cancellations, no-show fees, crisis sessions, case management fees, or other financial arrangements discussed on a case-by-case basis.

For information about my fees, please review my Disclosure Statement or contact me directly.
