You are entitled to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under this law, healthcare providers are required to provide patients who do not have insurance, or who are not using insurance, with an estimate of the expected charges 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 that are reasonably expected at the time of scheduling. This includes related costs such as medical tests, equipment, and hospital services.
Please keep in mind that some procedures are performed at local area hospitals. You may need to contact the hospital directly regarding the hospital portion of your bill.
For patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance, BG Neurology will provide a written Good Faith Estimate of scheduled services before the medical service or item is provided, upon request.
You may also request a Good Faith Estimate from BG Neurology, or from any other provider, before scheduling a service or item.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
Be sure to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/ or call 1-800-985-3059.
