What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate is a written summary of the expected costs for your medical or mental health services. Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive this estimate if you are uninsured or choosing not to use your insurance.
​
This estimate helps you understand potential costs before receiving care.

​
-
Patients without insurance
-
Patients choosing self-pay
-
Patients receiving services not covered by insurance (e.g., functional psychiatry, testing)
​
Does NOT apply to:
​
-
Fully covered insurance visits (though costs like copays/deductibles still apply)
What Your Estimate Will Include
Your Good Faith Estimate will outline:
​
-
Type of service (evaluation, follow-up, etc.)
-

Disclaimer
A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services.

Actual charges may differ if your clinical needs change during treatment.
