GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost under the law. Health care providers must provide a "Good Faith" estimate of costs for patients who do not have insurance or who do not wish to use their insurance.
*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 medial tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
*Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare 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.
*Make sure and save a copy of the Good Faith Estimate.
