Good Faith Estimates

What is a Good Faith Estimate?
  • A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is an estimate of your expected bill for medical items/services. It is your right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including office visits, labs, and medical tests or procedures.
  • 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.
  • You can ask for any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an appointment 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 for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.

    • How can I pay a bill or reach the Billing Department?
