No Surprises Act:
What You Need to Know

Starting January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act was put in place to help clients better understand their healthcare costs and avoid unexpected bills. As part of this law, I want to make sure you have all the information you need about the cost of therapy services.

Good Faith Estimate

If you’re paying out-of-pocket or are uninsured, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of services before you start therapy.

The Good Faith Estimate will include:

  • The expected cost of each session.

  • The total estimated cost of therapy based on the number of sessions we discuss as part of your treatment plan.

This estimate is not a bill, but a guide to help you plan for the cost of your care. Your actual total costs may vary, especially if you and I decide together to adjust the frequency or duration of your sessions.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • You will receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing if you’re paying for therapy without using insurance.
     

  • If the total amount you’re billed is more than $400 above the Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the charges.

Questions?

If you have any questions about the cost of therapy or the Good Faith Estimate, feel free to reach out to me. I want you to feel informed and confident about your care.
