No Surprise Billing, with health insurance billing, or no health insurance

   


Under the law, health care providers need to give patients with no health 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.    

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. 

You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.   

 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  To file a complaint you may contact 1-800-985-3059 

If you have Health insurance billing, be sure to contact your provider to fully understand your benefits and the potential financial cost you may occur. 

No Surprise Billing Act

Morgan's Helping Hands always try to be as transparent as possible when it come to no health insurance billing, or health insurance billing. 


  • In efforts to comply with the new No surprise billing act Morgan's Helping Hands  has placed an example of what mental health services cost would be if you choose to pay out of pocket or if we are not in your network.
  • Out of Pocket or out of network rates $135.00 each session  
  • If you decide to receive therapeutic services once a week in the year you would pay $135.00 for each session at 52 weeks. 
  • The total cost of estimated services for counseling would be $7,020.
  •  This does not include any no show or late cancelation fees, or other services as written out in the fee schedule.
  •  If at anytime other services are spoken about a new Good Faith Estimate will be completed. 
  •  This is just an example and each Good faith estimate would be completed based on the clients treatment plan.    




Disclaimer    

  •  The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. 
  • The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.  
  • The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.
  •  You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. 
  • If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.     
  • If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.     
  • You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate.

  •  There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process.

If so, inquire if an individual enrolled in a group health plan, group or individual health insurance coverage offered by a health insurance issuer, or a Federal Employees Health Benefit plan is seeking to have their claims for such item or service submitted to plan. The provider or facility must provide notification (in clear and understandable language) of the good faith estimate of the expected charges, expected service, and diagnostic codes of scheduled services.   
  • The good faith estimate must include expected charges for the items or services that are reasonably expected to be provided in conjunction with the primary item or service, including items or services that may be provided by other providers and facilities.
