🕊️ Good Faith Estimate Notice (No Surprises Act)

Under the law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental health care may cost.

As part of the No Surprises Act, providers must give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for 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:

  • Counseling sessions

  • Evaluations (e.g., ADHD or autism assessments)

  • Letters or documentation (if requested)

You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate in writing before you schedule a service—and you can request an updated estimate at any time.

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute it.
