Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
How This Applies to Our Work Together
If you are not using insurance to pay for therapy or executive coaching services, Annie Wright, LMFT will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your scheduled service, or when you schedule a service if it is scheduled at least three business days in advance.
The Good Faith Estimate will include the expected charges for the primary service and any other items or services that are reasonably expected to be provided together with the primary service.
