Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care will cost.

Health care providers are required to give clients who do not have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of services. You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during care.

You will receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your first appointment. 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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
