The Good Faith Estimate

Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act requires health care providers to give patients who are uninsured, 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 explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers must 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 items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

A self-pay patient is someone who is uninsured, or who has insurance but chooses not to use it for their care. If you are a self-pay patient, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your treatment before services begin.

Patients using in-network insurance benefits are not considered self-pay and will instead receive cost information through their insurer's benefits and claims process.
