Right to Receive a Good faith estimate

Per the No Surprises Act, you have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges to understand how much your medical care will cost. Under this law, healthcare providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or will not utilize their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services and related items.

You have a right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of non-emergency services and items. This includes medical testing, prescription drugs, hospital visits and medical equipment.

GFE should be provided at least one business day in advance of the scheduled service or item being rendered. You can request a GFE prior to scheduling an appointment with any and all healthcare providers.

If you receive a bill that is $400 greater than the GFE, you may dispute the bill. Be sure to save a copy or take a picture of the GFE in case you do need to dispute a bill. For more information about GFE, please visit https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.
