Good Faith Estimate
Effective Date: July 2026
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who are not using insurance or who are not submitting claims to insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for services.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your therapy services before you begin treatment.
If you are paying for services yourself (self-pay) or are not using insurance benefits, you may request a Good Faith Estimate at any time.
What the Estimate Includes
A Good Faith Estimate may include:
The cost of the initial consultation
The cost of ongoing therapy sessions
Any reasonably expected additional services or fees
The estimate is based on information known at the time it is provided. Actual costs may vary depending on your treatment needs.
Questions or Disputes
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
