You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical, mental health care or dental services will cost.

Under the law, health care providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services.
• You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
