Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills
The No Surprise Act (NSA) requires a posted disclosure (this document) in waiting rooms and posted via website as well as a Good Faith Estimate for each client served.  (sent through client portal via email link for ACT Wellness). 
The NSA is designed to protect you when you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?  Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit. “Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.
In this building you are provided services by private practice clinicians (rather than facility clinicians).  Each provider is separately either in network or out of network with your specific insurance plans.  Prior to your appointment you will know the name of your clinician and can confirm their in network or out of network status for mental health services by calling the 800 number on the back of your insurance card.  Your clinician can tell you what insurance contracts they are in network with however, because mental health services are sometimes outsourced by your major medical insurance company, we do recommend you call the 800 number on the back of your card to confirm network status (for instance, some BCBS plans may have outsourced the mental health services to Beacon Health or Cigna – a provider may be in network for BCBS but not Beacon Health or Cigna.  Another example, a provider may be in network with BCBS but out of network for BCBS Medicare products as Counselors are not allowed to be paneled or “in network” for Medicare.)  It is always best to check with your insurance carrier directly.
The clinician providing you services will never be changed without your prior knowledge and consent, there will be no surprises that would impact your network status in this way. 
The second part of the NSA is for each client to be provided a Good Faith Estimate that reviews the cost of services for your provider, the service you will be receiving and the anticipated condition to be treated, prior to your appointment.  For ACT Wellness clients seeing either Amylynn or Tim, this will be provided to you through your client portal.
