You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost.

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have 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 upon scheduling and upon request. This includes related costs like medical 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 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 have a right to dispute the bill. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

​​

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
