Requesting an estimate
For care subject to the federal rules, you can generally receive a written Good Faith Estimate if you request one or schedule services at least three business days ahead. Ask about expected charges before scheduling; delivery timing depends on the circumstances.
Keeping and comparing your estimate
Keep your estimate and bills. An estimate describes expected charges, rather than guaranteeing a final bill. A federal dispute process may be available if a provider’s bill is at least $400 above that provider’s estimate; generally, it must be started within 120 calendar days of the initial bill.
