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 healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider 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 a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises

About the Author:

The human spirit is beautifully resilient. I am a two-time cancer survivor. I know how it feels to be at your lowest; to have your life completely disrupted. I went from being healthy and active to a full-time cancer patient. I remember what it felt like to look so unhealthy (no eyebrows, hair, or eyelashes) that my very presence made people look away to avoid eye contact. I understand being in a dark place. I will work along side you with compassion and empathy. Working with me, you are safe to express yourself fully with no judgement.
