Good Faith Estimate

Your right to a Good Faith Estimate

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

Under federal law, health care providers must give patients who are uninsured or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy.

What this means for you

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy.
• You can ask your 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.

How we handle it

If you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance, we will provide a written Good Faith Estimate before your first session, and again any time your treatment plan changes in a way that affects cost. You can also request one at any time.

If you are using insurance, your costs are determined by your plan's benefits. Headway, our billing partner, verifies those benefits and gives you an expected cost before your first appointment.
