A Note About Good Faith Estimates
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan, coverage, or Federal healthcare program, or are not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage, both orally and in writing, of their ability to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your therapy services will cost.
If you are working with me as your therapist and are not using insurance, I will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate document as part of your new client paperwork. This document will clearly outline the cost of therapy sessions, giving you a transparent view of the charges you can expect for the services rendered.
Please keep a copy or a picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, we can discuss it prior to or during your first session. It’s important that you understand the financial aspect of your therapy services, and I’m here to ensure you feel comfortable with the process.
