Good Faith Estimate

Good Faith Estimate Notice
Last Updated: February 2026

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

Under the law, healthcare 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.

Your Rights and Protections
Receive an Estimate for Total Costs: 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.

Get it in Writing: Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

Dispute Excessive Bills: If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Keep Records: Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
