You have a right to a document called a Good Faith Estimate.

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

​

• 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. All clients will be provided a new Good Faith Estimate with the expected cost of a session for each calendar year prior to the start of that year.

• 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.
