You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected charges for your medical care if you don’t have insurance or aren’t using insurance.
Your rights
- You can request a GFE for any non-emergency item or service.
- Your provider must give you a written GFE at least 1 business day before your appointment if you schedule in advance.
- You may also ask for a GFE before scheduling.
- Your GFE should include related costs (for example, tests, prescriptions, equipment, or facility fees, when applicable).
- If your bill is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
- Keep a copy (or photo) of your GFE for your records.
