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.

​
