You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance benefits, 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 will be given a Good Faith Estimate after out initial intake session together and it will be available to you anytime after that upon request.

As a rule of thumb, if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate from a provider, you can dispute the bill. Simply make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
