WHAT IS NEURODIVERSITY-AFFIRMATIVE THERAPY?
Neurodiversity-affirmative therapy is rooted in the belief that variations in how our brains work is a normal part of the human experience. The way our brains work is not a deficit, problems arise when our environments aren't set up to meet our needs or when we are expected to use neurotypical solutions for neurodivergent problems.
The goal isn't to change how our brains work, but to create an environment that is better set up to meet our needs (and to challenge the systems that don't).
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 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 www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 323-577-4288.
