No Surprises Act Notice
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide individuals who are uninsured or who choose not to use their health insurance with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges for healthcare services.
At The Center for Mindful Exploration, we believe that transparent communication about the cost of care is an important part of the therapeutic relationship.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate outlines the expected cost of the mental health services you may receive. The estimate is based on information known at the time it is provided and is intended to help you understand and plan for the financial aspects of your care.
The estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services. Because therapy is individualized, actual costs may vary depending on your treatment needs, the number of sessions attended, and any changes to your treatment plan.
Who Can Receive a Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate if you:
Are uninsured; or
Choose to pay for services yourself instead of using health insurance.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services or at any time during your course of treatment.
