Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges

Under the law (No Surprises Act), you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” for the total expected cost of medical and mental health services.

Healthcare 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.

You can ask your healthcare provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an appointment or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
