The Federal No Surprises Act aims to increase price transparency and reduce the likelihood that clients receive a “surprise” medical bill by requiring that providers inform clients of an expected charge for a service before the service is provided.

Starting January 1, 2022, behavioral health care providers will be required by law to give uninsured and self-pay clients a good faith estimate of costs for services when the client requests an estimate.

We always discuss pricing with new clients prior to scheduling their first appointments and will continue to do so. However, if you would like a formal Good Faith Estimate (GFE), please know that you can ask for one and that the law requires that this GFE will become part of your medical record.
