Good Faith Estimate

For clients who don't have insurance or who choose not to use it for counseling.

Your Right to a 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.

How to Request a Good Faith Estimate From Grace

If you plan to pay for counseling yourself, our care team will give you a written Good Faith Estimate when you schedule. You can also ask for one at any time, even before you decide to schedule.
Because counseling usually involves a series of sessions, your estimate may cover the sessions you and your counselor expect over a period of time. You can see our self-pay rates on the Insurance & Fees page.
