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 healthcare services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including Psychotherapy services.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your healthcare service. You can also ask your healthcare 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.
