Here are your No Surprises Act forms!

• These two documents should be given to all self-pay and uninsured clients as of January 1, 2022.
  • SAMPLE NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
  • SAMPLE GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE: Updated on Jan 4, 2021, this form was designed to meet the requirements of all therapists nationwide for the No Surprises Act.  This form is a hybrid of several provided by various professional associations, that I felt were more applicable to private practitioners and contained softer language than the forms provided by the federal government (CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services/HHS Health and Human Services).
• Here’s the LINK TO MY ARTICLE ON THE NO SURPRISES ACT which tell you how to use these forms

Note: there is much conflicting advice out there, so it is likely that clarification will come in time, and I will need to update/alter these forms or give different advice.  Stay tuned to my newsletters and to your professional association for changes in everything I just published — they are certain to be coming!

This is a great time to update your documentation.  Check out my Practice Forms Packet, with 20 essential practice forms (including these forms) — find out more at my Store Page and click on the Forms Packet icon.
