Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, patients are protected from unexpected medical bills for emergency services and certain non-emergency services provided by out-of-network clinicians at in-network facilities. When applicable, the patient’s financial responsibility is limited to the same cost-sharing amount they would pay for in-network care, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Providers and facilities subject to the law may not bill patients for amounts beyond those in-network cost-sharing obligations, except where permitted by law and where proper notice and consent requirements have been satisfied.
Our Good Faith Estimate is provided in accordance with the No Surprises Act and outlines the expected charges for mental health services scheduled through our practice. The estimate is based on information available at the time of scheduling and includes anticipated costs for psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and other related behavioral health services that may reasonably be expected during the course of care. Actual charges may vary depending on the length of treatment, changes in clinical needs, additional services provided, or unforeseen circumstances. Patients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of non-emergency healthcare services and may dispute charges that are substantially higher than the estimate in accordance with federal law.
