No Surprises Act:
Good Faith Estimates
You have the right to receive a good faith estimate – one that explains the total expected cost of any nonemergency items or services.
By law, health care providers (including mental health care providers) need to give individuals who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for the services they receive.
Your provider is required to provide a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your services. You can also ask your 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 keep your copy of the Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please click the link below:
