Under recently enacted federal law, healthcare providers need to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services. You have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy. This typically will not be an issue, as fees for therapy services are clear up front and payment is due after every session. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute that bill. For questions or more information about your right to a good faith estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
