Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care may cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical and mental health care services, including counseling services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including related costs such as medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

You may ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service or at any time during treatment.

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.
