You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Your Rights Under the No Surprises Act

You may request a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before scheduling services.

If you schedule an appointment at this practice, you will receive written information about the cost of services before treatment begins and before you are charged.

California law requires providers to disclose the actual session fees in an informed consent form, which you must review and sign prior to starting services.

What to Expect

• The exact number of sessions you may need is difficult to predict. It depends on your specific concerns, progress in treatment, and your own goals.

• You may choose to stop services at any time. Services may also be ended in accordance with the terms outlined in the informed consent form.

• If fees change, you will receive an updated informed consent form reflecting the new charges.

Dispute Resolution

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above the Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge.
You can request dispute resolution information at any time.
In California, because the actual costs of services are disclosed and agreed to in advance, this situation is unlikely to occur.

Fee Validity

Fees outlined in your informed consent remain valid for 12 months unless updated by mutual agreement.
