Good Faith Estimate

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

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask for one before scheduling.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
