Under the No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), healthcare providers and health care facilities are required to provide patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for medical services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy and psychiatric services.

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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
