• 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.
