A good faith estimate should include expected charges for the scheduled health care items and services, including facilities fees, hospital fees, and room and board provided by the provider or facility. Good faith estimates only list expected charges for a single provider or facility.
If you scheduled care and haven't gotten a good faith estimate yet, ask for one in writing. You don't need to use the specific term "Good Faith" to request an estimate. You'll need a good faith estimate in writing if you need to dispute your bill. You can't use the No Surprises Act dispute process without an estimate.
This is called a “good faith estimate.” A good faith estimate isn't a bill. The good faith estimate shows the list of expected charges for items or services from your provider or facility.
You should get a good faith estimate if you schedule an appointment at least 3 business days in advance. You can ask your provider directly for an estimate if they don't give one to you. When you schedule care 0-2 business days in advance, you aren't entitled to get a good faith estimate.

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) RESPA requires that borrowers receive disclosures at various times. Some disclosures spell out the costs associated with the settlement, outline lender servicing and escrow account practices and describe business relationships between settlement service providers.

The good faith estimate must include a number of disclaimers. For example, it must state that the estimate is based on information known at the time it was created. Therefore, it won't include any costs for unanticipated items or services that are not reasonably expected and that could occur due to unforeseen events.
