The No Surprises Act, effective January 2022, aims to protect patients from unexpected medical bills. This legislation requires healthcare providers, including therapists, to give a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges to uninsured and self-pay clients before providing services.
Good Faith Estimate (GFE)
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services with Root & Rise LLC. I will provide one to you as part of your intake forms if you are not using insurance or agree to a sliding fee. You can also ask me or any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
​
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
