Good Faith Estimate

You have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your health care will cost. Under law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the total expected cost of any non-emergency health care services, including for speech therapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule a service and for an updated GFE at any point during your care.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy of your GFE.
