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

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, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

” My daughter was diagnosed with anxiety when she was six. Having learned from you I was able to recognize the anxiety and to talk about it with her. I was able to explain using your example of a runaway train, how anxiety can hijack your thoughts. I feel lucky to be able to help her which I would never have been able to do had it not been for you. Thank you for all that you did for me and all that you do for others.”
