Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

​

Under the law, healthcare providers must give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill 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 related costs like therapy costs.

• Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business day before your service.

• You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
