Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Draft pending compliance review.

What a Good Faith Estimate is

Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give people who are uninsured, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for services. Zehn Therapy provides a Good Faith Estimate as part of standard onboarding, before care begins.

What it includes

• the expected cost of the services being scheduled
• the fee for each service
• an estimate of expected frequency, where that can reasonably be anticipated

Psychotherapy is ongoing and individualized, so an estimate reflects what is reasonably expected at the time it is issued rather than a fixed total. You will receive an updated estimate if the plan of care changes materially.

Your rights

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before a scheduled service, and you may request one at any time before scheduling.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be able to dispute it through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.
• Keep a copy of your estimate.

Current fees

Session fees are published on the Fees page.
