Good Faith Estimate Notice
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers and facilities are required to give patients who are uninsured or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services, known as a “Good Faith Estimate,” before those items or services are provided.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
If you are not using insurance, or if you are choosing to pay for services yourself rather than through insurance (self-pay), you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychotherapy services. This includes costs like session fees for therapy and any related services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your appointment, or upon request.
- You can ask your provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If your bill is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate (the specific threshold is set by federal regulation), you have the right to dispute the bill.
- Keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
Where to get your specific estimate
This website does not publish session fees or rate information. Because scheduling, billing, and insurance are all handled through Era Psychotherapy, your individualized Good Faith Estimate — reflecting the specific services, expected frequency of care, and any applicable fees — is provided directly by Era as part of the intake process.
To request your Good Faith Estimate, please reach out through Era’s intake so their team can prepare an estimate specific to your situation.
Good faith, not a contract
A Good Faith Estimate shows the estimated costs for items or services that are reasonably expected for your care. It is not a bill, and it does not obligate you to receive the items or services from any particular provider. The actual items or services you receive, and the associated costs, may differ from the estimate.
