Scheduling

---

Are you a mental health care professional or clinician in a related field? Are you currently working with clients who are cult survivors or former members of high control groups (HCG)? Do you sometimes find yourself puzzled or just wishing you had more information about the HCG worldview your client is recovering from? Cults and HCG use coercive techniques that are usually covert and deceptive. As a former member of a HCG, and now a clinician, I can help you increase your understanding as you help your clients.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” under the No Surprises Act, estimating how much your medical and mental health care will cost. 

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. 
• If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
