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.
