The No Surprises Act (cms.gov) is a federal law designed to protect patients from unexpected medical bills. In accordance with this law, Oriel Psychological Services will provide self-pay and uninsured patients a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before services are provided.

This estimate will be provided:

  • For services scheduled at least three business days before the service, within one day of scheduling.

  • For services scheduled at least ten business days before the service, within three day of scheduling.

  • Within three days or requesting the estimate.

Information about rates for services can be found here (Rates).

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to dispute charges if your final bill is substantially higher than the estimate you received.

Please contact our office if you have questions or would like to request a Good Faith Estimate. Additional information relating to the No Surprises Act can obtained by contacting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services:
