No Surprises Act
Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills
At Evans Counseling Group, we believe in transparency and helping clients understand the cost of care before beginning services.
Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to protect patients from unexpected medical bills and provide clear information about pricing for services.
What this means for you
If you do not have insurance or choose not to use your insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care before services are provided.
A Good Faith Estimate includes the anticipated costs for therapy services and any related fees based on your treatment plan and goals.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to:
• Receive a written Good Faith Estimate before your first scheduled service
• Ask for an estimate of the total expected cost of therapy services
• Request an updated estimate if your treatment needs change
• Keep a copy of your estimate for your records
What if my final bill is higher?
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.
Important to know
A Good Faith Estimate is based on the information known at the time it is created and may change depending on your treatment needs, frequency of sessions, or additional services.
The estimate is not a contract and does not require you to obtain services.

If you have questions about your Good Faith Estimate, billing, or your rights under the No Surprises Act, please contact our office.
