Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains how much your care is expected to cost.

Under federal law, healthcare providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate to patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance for their services.

This estimate includes the total expected costs of non-emergency services, including related expenses such as therapy fees, lab tests, prescriptions, equipment, or other necessary items.

You should receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled service. You can also request an estimate before scheduling any service or item.

If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the bill through a formal resolution process.

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