No Surprise Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. You will receive one before your first appointment. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, which includes mental health care.

- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, which includes mental health care.

- You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
