No Surprises Act Notice

The “No Surpises Act” requires providers to inform their uninsured and private pay patients that they have a right to a “Good Faith Estimate” to help them estimate the expected charges they may be billed.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.

The Cabin Counseling & Resource Center, Inc. is an out-of-network provider therefore we do not accept insurance for services rendered.  Depending on your presenting concern, you may need between 10 and 45 psychotherapy sessions of 50-minutes each this year.  You can request an application for a reduced fee through our Samaritan Fund.  Applications for Samaritan Fund assistance are screened using the poverty guidelines in the federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to determine qualification.
