Good Faith Estimate

Your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs under the federal No Surprises Act.

Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate

At Mindful Sewa Psychiatry, we are committed to providing transparent, high-quality mental healthcare. If you are uninsured or choose not to use your health insurance and instead pay for services out of pocket, federal law gives you the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care before services are provided.

A Good Faith Estimate helps you understand the anticipated cost of your treatment, allowing you to make informed decisions about your healthcare.

What Does the Estimate Include?

Your Good Faith Estimate may include the expected cost of services such as:

The estimate is based on the information available at the time it is prepared and reflects the services reasonably expected for your care.

Important Information

A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not guarantee your final cost of care.

Your treatment needs may change over time. If additional services become medically necessary or your treatment plan changes, your final charges may differ from the original estimate. Whenever possible, we will discuss any anticipated changes with you before providing additional services.

Your Rights Under Federal Law

Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate to uninsured and self-pay patients for scheduled healthcare services.

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the charges through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.

We recommend keeping a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

For additional information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, please visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) or contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
