Good Faith Estimate

Your right to a Good Faith Estimate.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care.

Last updated: July 2026

What this means for you

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Health care providers are required to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for services.

What is included

  • The expected fee per session and anticipated frequency.
  • The services that will typically be provided.
  • A total estimate based on the current rates and treatment plan.

Estimates are based on the information available at the start of care. Because the length and course of therapy can change, your estimate may be updated if your needs change.

If you receive a bill higher than the estimate

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Keep a copy of your estimate in a safe place.
