Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give patients who are not using insurance an estimate of expected charges for care.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate

If you do not have insurance or choose not to use it, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care is expected to cost. This includes related costs like tests or follow-up visits that are reasonably expected.

  • Ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule, or at any time.
  • You should receive it in writing at least one business day before your appointment.
  • 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 Good Faith Estimate.

NCNE's self-pay rates are published on the Insurance & Fees page: initial evaluations typically $250–$350 and follow-up visits typically $125–$200 before any insurance reimbursement.
