Important Disclaimers
Estimate Only: This 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.
Additional Services: 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 the bill.
Right to Dispute: If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You may contact the health care provider or facility listed above to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can 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.
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will 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 the higher amount.
