The No Surprises Health Service Act: Good Faith Estimate
(2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, January 2022)
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your treatment will cost. Under the law, all health care providers need to provide their patients an estimate of their bill for services – if their patients don’t have insurance or will not be using insurance.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any of your services.
Your therapist is expected to give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your therapy begins.
You can also ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. (If you receive a bill that is $400 more than the Good Faith Estimate you received, you can dispute the bill).
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
