Good Faith Estimate

All services at Side Quest Psychotherapy are paid out of pocket at the time of care. Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before starting services — regardless of whether you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

A Good Faith Estimate outlines the anticipated cost of your care based on your individual needs and frequency. It’s not a bill or a binding contract — it’s a transparency tool so you can make informed decisions and avoid unexpected costs.

You’ll receive a personalized estimate as part of the intake process, and you’re welcome to request one at any time. Estimates typically cover your initial session, ongoing sessions at the frequency you and your clinician discuss, and any additional services you opt into — such as documentation, extended communication, or between-session support.

If you receive a bill $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute it. Keep a copy of your estimate for your records. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
