Good Faith Estimate
At Healing Hearts & Minds, we believe in transparency and empowering our clients with the information they need for their mental health journey.
As part of your rights under the law, you are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate detailing the expected costs of your mental health care. This applies to clients who don’t have insurance or choose not to use insurance for services.
What You Need to Know:
- You can request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling a service or at any time during treatment.
- This estimate will outline the anticipated charges for any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy.
- If you receive a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate by $400 or more, you have the right to dispute the charges.
To protect your records and stay informed, we recommend keeping a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. For more details or guidance on disputing a bill, please refer to your estimate or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
We’re here to help you navigate your care with clarity and confidence! Reach out if you have questions or need more information.
What is a “Good Faith Estimate” Under the No Surprises Act?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, commonly known as the No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care 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. It is recommended that once you receive your good faith estimate you keep a copy for your records or take a picture for future reference. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at 1-800-985-3059.
