Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, individuals who do not have health insurance or who are not using insurance to pay for their care have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much their health care is expected to cost.
If you are uninsured or plan to pay for services yourself without submitting a claim to your health plan, you may ask Wings Counseling Center for a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care before scheduling services or at any time during the scheduling process.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be able to dispute the bill.
