Under federal law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains how much your medical or mental health care, including psychotherapy or telehealth therapy sessions, will cost.

This estimate applies to patients who don’t have insurance or choose not to use insurance for their therapy services. You can request a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency mental health services, including individual or couples therapy.

How it works:

• You can request a Good Faith Estimate from your therapist or any provider before scheduling a session.

• If your bill ends up being $400 or more than the estimate, you have the right to dispute it.

• Be sure to keep a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
