RIGHTS TO A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE - NO SUPRISES ACT (Notification Required by Law)

The “No Surprises Act” (the Act), allows for patient financial protections that impact health plans, physicians, and facilities. The “No Surprises Act” is a new requirement to provide a good faith estimate (GFE). Beginning January 1, 2022, health care providers will be required to give new and established patients who are uninsured, or self-pay, or patients who are shopping for care, a good faith estimate of costs for services that they provide.

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 clients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Your health care provider shall provide you a Good Faith Estimate in writing prior to your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider and any other provider you choose (to work with), for a Good Faith Estimate during scheduling.

• If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than estimated on (more than $400 than) your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• It is a good idea to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
