What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Under the law, healthcare providers need 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. A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate of the total cost associated with your healthcare services. Good Faith Estimates are meant to reduce the incidence of surprise medical bills.

Good Faith Estimates include the costs associated with your regularly scheduled appointments. If you see your therapist once a week, your estimate will give you an idea of how much you’ll spend on therapy for the upcoming year.

Good Faith Estimates do not include costs associated with
- Cancellations
- No-shows
- Emergency sessions / crisis care

I offer Good Faith Estimates that project 1 year in advance. Based on the frequency of your sessions, I am able to offer an estimate for your total expected therapy costs for the year.

Keep in mind that this estimate will likely overestimate your costs since it doesn’t take into account holidays and cancellations. A Good Faith Estimate is, of course, just an estimate and not an exact amount.
