Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

  • Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • 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 www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call Emily Keller at (925) 290-0036.

 
As your practitioner, I recognize that every client’s therapy journey is unique. 
Your therapeutic journey will be influenced by multiple factors including scheduling challenges, life circumstances, therapist availability, diagnoses, personal finances, and other outside events, such as a global pandemic, that may alter the current treatment schedule.
 
We will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy, along with your progress and treatment goals to work together to determine when you have met your goals and are ready to finish therapy. We will also continually assess when to reconsider and alter the “Good Faith Estimate” should the need arise.
 
The therapeutic journey begins with establishing a trusting relationship. In fact, some studies indicate the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the biggest factor in predicting success. As we work together, we will identify your therapeutic goals and develop a contract for change so we know when you (your child, family, etc.) have reached your goals.
