Clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much medical care will cost. 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.
Clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency medical item or service.
Make sure the health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before a medical item or service. Clients can also ask their health care provider, and any other provider they choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before a scheduled medical item or service.
If clients receive a bill that is at least $400 more than the Good Faith Estimate, it can be disputed.
For questions or more information about the right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
