At True Blue Behavioral Health, we believe in transparency when it comes to the cost of our services. We understand that mental health care is an important investment, and we want to ensure you are fully informed about the financial aspects of your treatment.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) provides a detailed breakdown of the expected costs for services you may receive at True Blue Behavioral Health. The purpose of the GFE is to help you understand the potential expenses before you begin treatment, allowing you to make informed decisions about your care.
Who Receives a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the No Surprises Act, all uninsured or self-pay clients are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services. This includes all evaluations, therapy sessions, and any other services we provide. If you are covered by insurance but plan to pay out-of-pocket for your services, you are also entitled to a GFE.
What’s Included in a Good Faith Estimate?
Your Good Faith Estimate will include:
- A list of the services you may receive and the estimated fees for each.
- An overview of the expected frequency and duration of services.
- Information about any additional costs that may be incurred during your treatment.
- Clear guidance on how to seek clarification or address any questions about the estimate.
How Will I Receive My Good Faith Estimate?
You will receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing before your first appointment. This estimate will outline the services we expect to provide and their associated costs. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimate. The actual cost may vary based on your specific needs and the services you receive.
Working with Insurance
True Blue Behavioral Health accepts various insurance plans. If you choose to use your insurance, we will provide you with information about your benefits, coverage, and any potential out-of-pocket expenses. We are committed to working with you to maximize your insurance benefits and minimize your financial burden.
