Surprise Billing
Federal law protects patients from many types of surprise medical bills.
​
If you receive emergency care from an out-of-network provider or receive certain services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility, you may be protected from unexpected charges beyond your normal cost-sharing responsibilities.

Good Faith Estimates
Patients who do not have insurance or who choose not to use their insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected medical charges before receiving services.
A Good Faith Estimate helps you understand the anticipated costs of medical items and services and provides greater transparency when planning for care.
