No Surprises Act
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
We believe in full transparency. As a private-pay practice, we want you to feel informed and empowered about the cost of your care before treatment begins.
Because The Motherhood Wellness Center operates as a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your mental health care will cost.
What You Should Know
Receive a Cost Estimate
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 individual therapy sessions, consultations, and evaluations.
Timely Written Notice
Your health care provider must give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled service. You can also ask your provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a session.
Right to Dispute
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. This protection ensures you aren't surprised by unexpected charges.
Keep Your Records
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. Having this documentation protects you and gives you a reference point for any future billing questions.
