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 bill 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least
    one business day before your medical 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 of your Good Faith Estimate
