Your rights

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act you have the right to know what your care will cost before you begin. Here is what that means at this practice.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your 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 bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your service. You can also ask any 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

How this works at Through Faith Therapy

Through Faith Therapy is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance, so this applies to every client here.

After our consultation call, and before your first session, you’ll receive a written Good Faith Estimate covering the expected cost of your care: the session fee, how often we expect to meet, and the estimated total for the period we plan together. Because therapy is not a fixed course of treatment, that estimate is exactly that — an estimate. We’ll revisit it if the plan changes.

You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate at any point, including before you decide whether to schedule. Just ask.
