Good Faith Estimate Notice
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and facilities must inform individuals who are not enrolled in a health plan or Federal health care program, or who are not submitting a claim to insurance, of their right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for health care items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that explains how much your medical care is expected to cost.
Providers are required to give this estimate to patients who do not have insurance or who are choosing not to use insurance.
The Good Faith Estimate will include the total expected costs of non-emergency services. This may include medical tests, prescriptions, equipment, and facility fees.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling any item or service, from your provider or any provider of your choice.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charges.
