Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to understand the expected cost of your care. If you are uninsured or will not be using insurance, Ashé Counseling & Coaching will provide an estimate of the anticipated charges for your scheduled services.
Know what to expect before services begin.
Federal law requires healthcare providers to give clients who do not have insurance, or who choose not to use insurance, an estimate of the expected cost of scheduled healthcare services.
Your Good Faith Estimate outlines reasonably expected charges based on the information available when it is prepared.
Who may receive a Good Faith Estimate
You may receive a Good Faith Estimate when you schedule services with Ashé Counseling & Coaching and:
You do not have health insurance
You are not enrolled in a health plan that will pay for the service.
You are not using insurance
You have insurance but choose not to use your benefits for the scheduled service.
What your estimate will include
- The clinician expected to provide services
- The anticipated service and billing code
- The expected charge for each service
- The projected frequency and duration of treatment
Because psychotherapy is individualized, the total number of sessions cannot always be known at the beginning of treatment.
Current self-pay service fees
When you will receive your estimate
- Within 1 business day when services are scheduled at least 3 business days in advance
- Within 3 business days when services are scheduled at least 10 business days in advance
- Within 3 business days when you request an estimate before scheduling
Why your actual costs may differ
Your actual charges may change if your treatment plan, clinician, session frequency, service type or length of care changes.
If your bill is higher than your estimate
You may have the right to dispute the bill.
If a final bill is at least $400 more than the amount shown on the Good Faith Estimate, you may qualify for the federal dispute resolution process.
