Good Faith Estimate

A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is an estimate of the costs you can expect to pay for mental health services at a private practice. The purpose of a GFE is to provide you with information about the potential costs of treatment so that you can make informed decisions about your care.

A GFE typically includes the following information:

• Session Fees: The fee charged per session of therapy or counseling. This may vary based on the type of service, the length of the session, and the therapist’s experience and qualifications.
• Insurance Coverage: Information about the private practice’s policy regarding insurance coverage, including whether they accept your insurance plan, the type of services covered, and your estimated out-of-pocket costs.
• Payment Options: Information about the private practice’s payment options, including accepted forms of payment and any fees associated with late or missed payments.
• Cancellation Policy: Details about the private practice’s cancellation policy, including any fees or charges that may apply if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
• Services Included: A description of the services included in the fee, such as initial assessments, follow-up appointments, and any additional resources or materials

It’s important to keep in mind that a GFE is only an estimate and actual costs may vary. The private practice should provide you with a detailed invoice for services rendered and provide a clear explanation of any charges that are not covered by insurance.
