You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers are required to give an estimate of the cost for medical services and items to patients who are not insured or who are not using an insurance estimate of the bill for medical services and items.

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

• If you want a Good Faith Estimate, make sure your health care provider gives it to you in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
