You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”

explaining how much your health care will cost

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients 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 health care services, including psychotherapy services.

• You can also ask your health care 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.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute your bill, visit cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers or call the No Surprises Helpdesk at 800-985-3059.
