As of January 01, 2022, under section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a health plan or who are not seeking to file a claim with their health plan of their ability to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care is expected to cost.
Under the law, health care providers are required to give clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance benefits an estimate of the expected charges for items and services.
If you receive a bill that is more than $400.00 over your Good Faith Estimate, you are able to dispute the bill.
