Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services or items. This includes related costs such as medical tests, prescriptions, equipment, and hospital fees.

Ensure that your healthcare provider provides you with a written Good Faith Estimate at least one business day before your service or item. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate from your provider or any other provider you choose before scheduling a service or item.

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

Be sure to keep a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
