No Surprises Act Disclosure
Beginning January 1, 2022, psychologists and health care providers are required to implement the No Surprises Act (NSA), a law designed to protect patients against unexpected bills.
The law requires healthcare providers to provide good faith cost estimates to uninsured and self-pay patients before services are rendered and clearly outlines the complaint and dispute resolution processes.
The federal No Surprises Act (NSA) was designed to protect patients from unexpected medical bills, a practice referred to as “surprise medical billing.” A surprise medical bill is one sent to a patient with insurance who doesn’t know they received medical services from one or more healthcare providers who are “out-of-network,” or who do not participate with the patient’s insurance.
Patients who do not have health insurance or are not using their insurance to pay for their healthcare are entitled to a “good faith estimate” of the expected cost of services. A “Good Faith Estimate” explains how much your medical care will cost based on the services we have discussed. If a bill is at least $400 more than the good faith estimate, patients can dispute it through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills:
- You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
- If you are eligible for a Good Faith Estimate, you will receive an estimate in writing at least one business day before you are to receive services, unless your appointment is scheduled less than three days in advance. All patients can request a Good Faith Estimate at any time before you schedule an item or service.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, patients can dispute the bill through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. There is a fee to dispute bills.
