Transparency in Your Family's Healing Journey
At Nabi Family Therapy, we believe that families deserve clarity and transparency in all aspects of their care, including the financial investment in their healing journey. Just as the butterfly's metamorphosis is a natural, predictable process, we want the cost of your therapy to be clear and understandable from the very beginning.
This Good Faith Estimate provides you with an expected cost estimate for your therapy services, as required by the No Surprises Act. We're committed to ensuring there are no unexpected financial barriers to your family's path toward connection and healing.
What Is a Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate is a detailed breakdown of the expected costs for your therapy services. Under federal law, healthcare providers must provide this estimate to patients who don't have insurance coverage for their services, or who choose not to use their insurance.
This estimate helps you:
Plan Your Investment: Understand the financial commitment involved in your family's therapy
Make Informed Decisions: Compare costs and treatment options
Budget Effectively: Prepare for therapy expenses without surprises
Access Care: Know what to expect so cost doesn't become a barrier to healing
