Hello! Welcome to Lifespan Wellness Marriage & Family Therapy!

The No Surprises Act established new protections and disclosure requirements against surprise medical billing that takes effect on January 1, 2022.

Part I of the regulation protects consumers with health plan coverage from surprise bills from out-of-network providers under limited circumstances related to emergency and non-emergency services at in-network facilities.

Part II of the no surprises billing regulations requires that all health care providers and health care facilities that are licensed, certified, or approved by the state to provide Good Faith Estimates of expected charges for services and items offered to uninsured, out-of-network, and self-pay consumers before services are rendered. 

The Good Faith Estimate includes all the following:

What Consumers Also Need To Know

The provider may recommend additional items or services as part of the treatment that are not reflected in the original estimate, and a separate or updated Good Faith Estimate will be provided. Estimates for psychotherapy sessions are made based on fees per session multiplied by approximate time periods for services, so estimated costs can differ based on how long services are engaged. While it is not possible to know in advance how many sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a person’s treatment, the Good Faith Estimate provides an estimate of the service costs using the fees and approximate, but not required, treatment periods. 

The Good Faith Estimate does not obligate or require the client to obtain any of the listed services from the provider or continue services for the duration of the time periods indicated on the estimate. The Good Faith Estimate is simply to help clients who are uninsured or not using insurance calculate projected costs of services for the approximate time that services may be rendered.
