No, because it is just an estimate. Every medical estimate in the US will include language that explains services other than those in the estimate may be provided, and you'll be responsible for paying for them. The provider is under no legal obligation to only perform the estimated services.

There's a reason why health insurance companies do the amount of lobbying they do.

Also, in America, doctors will always have you sign an agreement before they see you and before the price is known, that essentially says, “you agree to be responsible for paying any amount the doctor asks for, without any limit.”
