Under this new federal law, uninsured patients (those who do not have insurance) and self-pay patients (those who are not using their insurance) have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost at any of our programs within Hope Network.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected costs of any non-emergency items or services.
- Good Faith Estimate must be provided within 3 business days upon request. Ensure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day prior to your medical 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 your records.
