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.
- Summit Emotional Health strives to provide Good Faith Estimates to all patients at the time of scheduling. These Good Faith Estimates are provided by the Intake, Psychiatric, Assessment Coordinator and/or the Front Desk Administrator. If a Good Faith Estimate cannot be provided at the time of scheduling for any reason, an administrative staff member will provide all self-pay patients with a Good Faith Estimate, in writing, prior to services being rendered.
- Summit Emotional Health attempts to provide Good Faith Estimates in accordance with state and federal guidelines.
- 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.
Self-pay patients seeking a Good Faith Estimate may contact the following administrative team members:
