Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care
will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are
not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

● You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any
non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests,
prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
● Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1
business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care
provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you
schedule an item or service.
● If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can
dispute the bill.
● Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more
information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or
call 800-985-3059.

 
If you are an existing or new client with us, it is unlikely that the Good Faith Estimate will affect our work together. The law is meant to ensure that clients are made aware of all medical costs and that they are consenting to the cost of treatment. There will be no situation in which you would "inadvertently" receive care from a member of the Bmore Liberated team. Additionally, all of our fees for service are made available on our profiles.  The final rules about how to implement this in a mental health collective group practice such as Bmore Liberated have not yet been written by the federal government.
