No Surprises Act

Under the law, health care 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.

• 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.
