Good Faith Estimate
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document provided to clients to ensure transparency and clarity regarding the anticipated costs of healthcare services. This estimate outlines the expected charges based on the client’s current treatment plan, helping to avoid any unexpected financial surprises. It includes information on the type and frequency of services, as well as the associated costs, and aims to give clients a clear understanding of their financial responsibilities. While the GFE is based on the current understanding of the client’s needs, actual costs may vary depending on the course of treatment. Clients are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns about the estimate with their provider to ensure that they are fully informed and comfortable with the financial aspects of their care.
