Under the No Surprises Act, individuals who are uninsured or who choose not to use their health insurance to pay for health care services have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (“GFE”) of the expected charges for scheduled services.

Inara Center for Psychotherapy will provide a Good Faith Estimate to eligible uninsured or self-pay clients when required by applicable law, including when services are scheduled in advance or when an estimate is requested. The estimate will identify the expected charges for the services that are reasonably expected to be provided.

If you are uninsured or are choosing not to use your insurance for services, you may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling care or at any time during your treatment. Please contact your Inara Center for Psychotherapy therapist if you would like to request an estimate.

If you receive a bill from Inara Center for Psychotherapy that is at least $400 more than the amount listed in your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to use the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process to dispute the bill. Eligibility requirements apply, including requirements concerning the timing of the estimate and dispute.

If eligible, you generally must initiate the dispute process within 120 calendar days of receiving the initial bill. The federal dispute process currently requires a $25 administrative fee.
