Terms & Conditions

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”
explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have
insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for
medical items and services before those items and services are provided.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total
expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or
when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs
like medical tests, prescription drugs, and equipment.

• If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days
in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a
Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling.
If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days
in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a
Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling.
You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith
Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure
the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in
writing within 3 business days after you ask.

• 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.
