Financial counselors are available free of charge to answer any questions you may have about your health insurance benefits, insurance contracted discounts, and uninsured discounts. The counselors can provide you with a written estimate which details individual charges from the chargemaster, insurance or uninsured discounts and patient portion due for tests, surgeries or inpatient stays, or you can click on the Patient Estimate Tool to produce your own estimate.
Estimates are based on information provided by you (the patient) and do not include additional tests/procedures/services ordered by your physician after the initial estimate or post unforeseen complications, or physician charges which are billed separately by your physician.
You have the right to receive a : "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost.
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.
