Clear Guidelines for Your Mental Health Voyage


You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. By law, health care providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This ensures transparency and helps you better understand the potential costs of your care.You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total cost of non-emergency items or services, including medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. To start, ensure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service. You can also request an estimate before scheduling any item or service. If, however, your bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. Be sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For further details, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
