- You should receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your service.
- You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
