Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” 

Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services. (It is still unclear under this law how a GFE will pertain to Behavioral healthcare or Private Practice Therapist, as this is part of our documentation.)

• 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 medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

• You have a right to a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your provider 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. Save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. 

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