BILLING TRANSPARENCY

If you don’t have health insurance or choose not to use your insurance to pay for therapy, you generally have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care.

Good Faith Estimate

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

A Good Faith Estimate provides an estimate of the charges you can reasonably expect for scheduled services before care is provided. It is not a bill, and actual costs may vary if your treatment needs or services change.

When will I receive one?

If you are uninsured or plan to pay for care without using insurance, you can request a Good Faith Estimate at any time. You are also generally entitled to receive one when services are scheduled at least three business days in advance.

If your bill is higher than expected

If a bill from a provider is at least $400 more than the amount listed on that provider’s Good Faith Estimate, you may be able to use the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.
