Good Faith Estimate
Understanding your right to receive an estimate for expected medical and mental health care costs.
Interpersonal Psychiatry supports clear, transparent communication about treatment costs and patient financial rights.
What Is a Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care may cost.
Under federal law, health care providers must give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You can request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling non-emergency services.
