Good Faith Estimate
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of their bill for medical services before those services are provided.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy.
