As of January 1, 2022 Congress requires a Good Faith Estimate to be provided to you as part of the No Surprise Act. It is intended to reduce unexpected medical bills by providing an estimated total cost for services. 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. BetterHelp is the billing entity for my services, you will have to reach out to them directly, as I do not have access to billing and subscription information. You have the right to receive a written or verbal Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescriptions, equipment, and hospital fees.

If Good Faith Estimates apply to you, make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service. You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. Please note you must ask BetterHelp for this. 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.
