The Good Faith Estimate (GFE) section of the No Surprises Act (2022) requires that a written estimate of the total anticipated expense of treatment be provided to individuals who are not accessing their in-network insurance benefits
An individual's GFE is dependent upon the frequency of their appointments as well as the expected duration of treatment and may be adjusted as either of these factors change
A written GFE is provided at the start of treatment for each individual who is not accessing their in-network insurance benefits.
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.
Make sure your health care 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 health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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 or picture 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.
