Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers must give clients who don’t have insurance, or who aren’t using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for their care. This applies to therapy services.

Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. For therapy, this includes the cost of sessions.

• Make sure your provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask your provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.

You can ask me for a Good Faith Estimate at any time, including before your first session.
