Good Faith Estimate Cost of Services

 

Under Section 2799B-7 of the Public Health Service Act and its implementing regulations, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is required to establish a patient- provider dispute resolution process where a Selected Dispute Resolution (SDR) entity can resolve a payment dispute between individuals who are not enrolled in a group health plan, or group or individual health insurance coverage, or a Federal health care program, or a Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program health benefits plan (uninsured individuals), or who are not seeking to file a claim with their group health plan, health insurance coverage, or FEHB health benefits plan (self-pay individuals), and health care provider, facility, or provider of air ambulance services by determining the amount such individual must pay to their health care provider, facility, or provider of air ambulance services. Under federal criteria, SDR entities will review initiation notices to determine that an uninsured (or self- pay) individual is eligible to dispute a bill.

Section 45 CFR 149.610(c), establishes requirements for the content that must be included in a good faith estimate that is issued to an uninsured (or self-pay) individual. Per 45 CFR 149.610(c)(1), all of the required elements must be included in the good faith estimate that the convening provider or convening facility issues to the uninsured (or self-pay) individual. As specified in 45 CFR 149.610(c)(1)(iii)(B), the good faith estimate information submitted by co- providers or co-facilities, as specified in 45 CFR 149.610(b)(2) and (c)(2) must also be included as part of the good faith estimate issued to the uninsured (or self-pay) individual.
