Good Faith Estimate & Texas HB 1314
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a written estimate of expected charges for non-emergency health care services, required under the federal No Surprises Act. It helps clients understand anticipated costs before services are provided and outlines their right to dispute certain charges.

Texas HB 1314 (effective September 1, 2025) strengthens price transparency and billing-dispute protections in Texas by requiring clearer written cost estimates and dispute information for applicable health care services. While HB 1314 primarily applies to health care facilities, its intent aligns with the GFE requirements followed by Licensed Profession Counselor (LPC) in private practice.
Lemons 2 Lemonade Counseling PLLC provides Good Faith Estimates to support transparency, informed consent, and compliance with both federal and Texas pricing standards.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining the expected cost of your counseling services. You may request a written Good Faith Estimate for non-emergency therapy services before scheduling or at least one (1) business day prior to your appointment. The estimate will outline the total expected cost of services. If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charges. Please retain a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. Good Faith Estimates are provided as part of all client’s intake and informed consent processing.
