GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE


Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.


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

Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 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 cms.gov/nosurprises

Our Services

See our Welcome Page for a complete list of our services.

Anger Management Counseling

Therapy is a great way to explore the reasons behind your anger. If you don’t know the reasons for your anger, it can be difficult to control. We are here to help you identify root causes and triggers in a safe environment. It is also a safe space to practice new skills in expressing your emotions.


OOC does not offer court mandated anger management classes over a certain time period, where you receive a certificate at the end of the coursework completion. Please click here for a list of resources that do.

Behavioral Counseling

This type of counseling focuses on using the same learning strategies that led to the formation of unwanted behaviors as well as other new behaviors. Because of this, behavioral therapy tends to be highly focused. The behavior itself is the problem, so the goal is to teach clients new behaviors that will minimize or eliminate the issue.
