Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your 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.
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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
How this works at Room to Breathe
Room to Breathe Intensives does not accept insurance and does not provide superbills, so every client here is self-pay and this applies to all of them.
You do not have to ask for your estimate. You receive a written Good Faith Estimate at booking, before any deposit is charged, showing your package, the number of contact hours, the rate, the total, the deposit, and the balance. If your configuration changes, you get an updated one.
If you are pursuing ketamine-assisted work, your estimate covers Room to Breathe services only. Journey Clinical is a separate medical practice that bills you directly for medical visits and medication, and you should request a separate estimate from them. Your total cost is the two together.
Questions about any of it, ask before you book. That is what the estimate is for.
