Your right to a good faith estimate
Effective date: July 29, 2026
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your care will cost.
Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give clients who do not have insurance, or who choose not to use insurance, a written estimate of the expected charges for scheduled services. Behavioral Health Services, LLC is an out-of-network practice, so this right applies to care here.
What a Good Faith Estimate includes
Your Good Faith Estimate lists the services you can reasonably expect, such as the initial evaluation and psychotherapy sessions, with the fee for each, along with the practice's name and contact details. For ongoing therapy, the estimate covers expected sessions for up to 12 months; if care continues beyond that, or if fees change, you receive an updated estimate. Session fees are always shared and discussed during your free 15 minute consultation, before you commit to care, so the estimate should never contain surprises.
Timing, and how to ask
You will receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service when it is scheduled at least 3 business days ahead, and within 3 business days of scheduling when the service is at least 10 business days away. You can also request an estimate at any time before scheduling, and it will be provided within 3 business days. Just ask by phone at (305) 431-0002 or by email at dremilywald@gmail.com.
If the bill is higher than the estimate
A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, not a contract; it does not obligate you to receive care, and actual charges can differ modestly if your care changes. But if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process, generally within 120 calendar days of the date on the bill. While a dispute is pending, you are not required to pay the disputed amount above the estimate.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate alongside any bills you receive.
