Compassion fatigue is a condition that impacts those in the helping profession. Medical professions, first responders, law enforcement, therapists, nurses, and other service providers are the most commonly affected by compassion fatigue and empathic distress. Compassion fatigue includes emotional, cognitive, physical, behavioral, religious and spiritual reactions due to helping clients, patients or victims, typically through stressful or traumatic events. Those who deal with other people’s trauma, grief or life crisis every day may experience compassion fatigue.

The World Health Organization defines burnout as "an occupational phenomenon that results from unmanaged chronic workplace stress." Chronic workplace stress can come from coworkers, not feeling supported by one’s supervisor, and poor work culture.  Burnout emerges gradually over time as the work-related attributes continue to pile up and are not addressed.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care 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

Health care providers are required by law 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 (i.e. mental health and counseling services).

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