Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
If you are uninsured or choose not to use your insurance, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your health care will cost.
Under the law:
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- You can 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.
