Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining the expected costs of your mental health care if you are not using insurance (self-pay or uninsured).
At Cerebrum Exploration Counseling, we value transparency and want you to feel fully informed about the financial aspect of your care.
What You Can Expect
- You will receive a written estimate of expected fees before your first appointment.
- The estimate may include services such as:
- Initial intake/assessment
- Individual therapy sessions
- Couples or family therapy sessions (if applicable)
- Any additional agreed-upon services
- Initial intake/assessment
- Estimates are based on the information known at the time of scheduling. They may change if your treatment plan changes or if additional services are requested.
- The Good Faith Estimate is not a bill. The final cost may be higher or lower depending on your actual treatment needs.
Important Information
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may dispute the charges.
