No Surprises Act

The federal government passed a "No Surprises Act" that went into effect 1/1/2022, in an effort to make sure that healthcare recipients are not surprised by what they are charged for services.  In addition to the "Person Responsible for Payment Consent" form that we require you to sign (available when you establish a Client Portal with us), which states all of our fees clearly, you can read about your rights under this new federal act, and can request a "Good Faith Estimate" for your total cost of care if you would like. Currently, this information is relevant only for clients who are paying out-of-pocket for services and are not submitting costs to any health insurance plan.

If you are paying for services out of pocket without any submission to insurance, you may request an initial Good Faith Estimate document from our Intake Coordinator when you call to inquire about an appointment. The Good Faith Estimate lists examples of what clients paying out-of-pocket will pay in total for services at ABHS, and describes typical courses of treatment. It is impossible for us to tell you exactly what total amount you will pay in advance, because this depends upon the number of sessions you attend.  You are always free to stop the therapy process at any time.
