If you're not utilizing insurance for therapy services, you're entitled to receive a "Good Faith Estimate," outlining the anticipated costs of your medical care.
According to the new federal law, healthcare providers are required to provide patients without insurance or those not using insurance with an estimate of the expenses for medical items and services.
Here are your rights regarding Good Faith Estimates:
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate detailing the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, encompassing associated expenses like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- If the received bill exceeds your Good Faith Estimate by at least $400, you have the right to dispute the bill.
- It is advisable to retain a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate for reference. For inquiries or more details about your entitlement to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
As an illustrative example, our services are estimated to be around $7,020 or $135 per week for 52 weeks. This represents the maximum billing amount for someone attending therapy once a week for an entire year.
