Good Faith Estimate.
In January 2022, a new law called the No Surprises Act went into effect that requires healthcare providers to share with patients that don’t have insurance, or choose not to use their insurance, what is called a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). This outlines what you can expect to pay for the services you receive, and is intended to protect individuals from surprise billing.
