Under the No Surprises Act, patients who do not have insurance, or who are choosing not to use their insurance, may request an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services.
Our goal at Kansas Mental Health Medicine is to make your healthcare experience transparent and predictable. If you are a self-pay patient, you have specific rights regarding the cost of your care:
- Your Right to an Estimate: If you’re not using insurance, those patients who are “self-pay” may request a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and interventional therapies.
- Advance Notice: We will provide this Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one (1) business day before your scheduled medical service or item. You can also request an estimate before you choose to schedule an appointment.
- Dispute Rights: If you receive a final bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
- Record Keeping: Please make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
