Good Faith Estimates

Last updated June 23, 2026

Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your medical and mental health care. Under this law, health care providers must give clients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical 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, hospital fees, and psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule services.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. Be sure to keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
