You are entitle to a Good Faith Estimate which is referred to as a GFE. A Good Faith Estimate is a document that provides patients with an estimate of the expected charges for medical services or items before they receive care. This requirement was established under the No Surprises Act, which aims to protect patients from unexpected medical bills, particularly in situations where they may not have control over the providers they see. The GFE also allows you to compare fees to competing Trauma and PTSD treatment providers. Advanced Counseling and Research Services fully complies with GFE requirements.
