You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under federal law, healthcare providers must give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of expected charges for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs that are reasonably expected for your care.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling a service. If you schedule a service at least 3 business days in advance, you should receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing within the timeframe required by law.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the bill.
For questions or to request a Good Faith Estimate, contact us.
