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

The No Surprises Act established new protections and disclosure requirements against surprise medical billing that took effect on January 1, 2022.

Under the law, in accordance with the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide “Good Faith Estimates” to uninsured, out-of-network, or self-paying clients for services offered when scheduling care or when the client requests an estimate.

You can request your “Good Faith Estimate” in writing and at least 1 business day before your scheduled 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 of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
