Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance an estimate of the bill for items and services upon request.

• A Good Faith Estimate will be provided within three business days of the request.** You can also ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an appointment. 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 in-house lab tests and medications administered at the time of the visit.

• The Good Faith Estimate includes costs for all services we provide – medical and behavioral health.

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