You are not alone.

In Oregon, 1 in 16 children will experience the death of a sibling or parent by the age of 18 (JAG Institute, 2022). Groups like these allow folks with this similar experience to find each other, share, and listen in a safe and comfortable space.

Some folks do not like knowing personal details about their therapists' losses, and others find that they like to have a therapist with whom they can relate.

STANDARD NOTICE

“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges”

Under the No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes  related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or contact Maren Corbly, LPC at the provided phone number.
