GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE – CLIENT RIGHTS NOTICE
Effective date: June 18, 2026
Your rights to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act (federal law), healthcare providers are required to give clients who are uninsured or not using their insurance (self-pay) a written estimate of expected costs before services are provided.
The Good Faith Estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate is created and does not include emergency healthcare services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that includes:
The expected cost of therapy services (individual, couples, family sessions)
The expected frequency and duration of services
Any other items or services reasonably expected as part of your care
Timing of your estimate
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If your bill is higher than expected
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. To protect yourself:
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate
Compare your bill to any bill you received
Contact us immediately if there is a discrepancy
Important notes
A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not require you to obtain services
Actual cost may vary if your clinical needs change during the course of treatment
This estimate does not apply if you are using health insurance – your costs will be determined by your insurance plan’s benefits
