A good faith estimate must be provided within 3 business days upon request. Information regarding scheduled items and services must be furnished within 1 business day of scheduling an item or service to be provided in 3 business days; and within 3 business days of scheduling an item or service to be provided in at least 10 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not require you to obtain the items or services from our office in the Good Faith Estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay a higher amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov\/nosurprises<\/a> or call 1-877-696-6775<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov\/nosurprises<\/a> or call 1-877-696-6775<\/a>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep a copy of the Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take pictures of it.
