CMS fundamental information to include

[zohebzi]

Once you get your good faith estimate from your provider or facility, keep it in a safe place so you can compare it to bills you get later.

If you get the bill and the charges are at least $400 above the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to start a patient-provider dispute.

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