Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services.
- Make sure your provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also ask for one before you schedule.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
