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 give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services. This applies to "cash pay" as this provider is “out of network” on insurance panels.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Your health care provider must give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also request one before scheduling any service.
- If you receive a bill that is more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Be sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
