As of January 1, 2022, the government enacted the No Surprises Act, which requires all healthcare providers to supply their clients with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for the costs of their care. All Points North Counseling Services will provide the GFE upon scheduling and when requested. This GFE does not include unexpected expenses that could arise during treatment. The GFE is intended to provide uninsured or self-pay individuals with a clear and reasonable estimate of the cost of our services, so there are no surprises when it comes to your healthcare needs for an item or service, a diagnosis, and a reason for mental health services. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.

​

If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your provider have not previously discussed the change and have not supplied an updated GFE.

​

The GFE does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. Your provider will supply you with a new GFE should this happen. Federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if you and your provider have not previously discussed the change and your provider did not supply an updated GFE.

​

Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) requires healthcare providers and healthcare facilities to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request, or at the time of scheduling health care items and services to receive a GFE of expected charges. 

​

Note: The PHSA and GFE do not currently apply to individuals using insurance benefits, including "out of network benefits" (i.e., submitting superbills to insurance for reimbursement).
