Good Faith Estimate

As a valued patient, you have the right to transparency when it comes to understanding the cost of your medical care. According to the law, healthcare providers are required to provide patients without insurance or those not using insurance with a 'Good Faith Estimate' for the expected expenses associated with non-emergency medical items or services. This estimate encompasses various related costs, such as medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

To ensure you are well-informed, your healthcare provider must furnish you with a written Good Faith Estimate at least one business day prior to your scheduled medical service or item. Additionally, you have the option to request a Good Faith Estimate from any healthcare provider you choose before scheduling any procedure.

Should you receive a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate by at least $400, you have the right to dispute the bill. We strongly recommend keeping a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
