Good Faith Estimate

You have the right, by law, to know how much your medical and mental health care will cost ahead of time with a "Good Faith Estimate."

If you don't have insurance or choose not to use it, your healthcare provider is required by law to give you an estimate of the expected costs for your services, including therapy.

This estimate will show the total expected cost for any non-emergency healthcare services you plan to receive, like therapy. You can ask your provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you book an appointment.

If you get a bill that's $400 or more above your estimate, you can challenge it. Remember to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
