Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, all health care providers, including Counseling Associates of Central Iowa, PC, need to give patients who do not have insurance and patients who choose to not use their insurance an estimate of the expected charges for their medical services, which includes psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency health care service, which includes psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
