Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your care will cost
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers must provide patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance with an estimate of the total cost 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.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
