Under the law, health care providers need to give Patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items or services.

​

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.  This includes evaluations and therapy related costs.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your 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 can dispute the bill.

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