You Have the Right to Receive a "Good Faith Estimate"
Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy.
What This Means for You
- You have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
- You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling a service, or any time during care.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill through a federal patient–provider dispute resolution process.
- Keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate in a safe place.
How A New Day Psychology Provides Your Estimate
Dr. Kylie Pottenger will provide a Good Faith Estimate at the time of scheduling, and any time you request one. The estimate will include the expected fee per session, the expected frequency, and the anticipated diagnostic and procedure codes.
Current self-pay rates are listed on our Finance & Payment page.
Important Notes
- The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services.
- Estimates are based on information known at the time and may change if your care needs change.
- This notice applies to clients who are uninsured or who choose not to use their insurance.
