By law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for treatment.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, i.e., for therapy.

• Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare 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 $400 or more over your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

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