What to do next

Ask the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate — under the federal No Surprises Act, hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written estimate for scheduled care. If you're insured, ask your insurer for your expected cost-sharing in advance, confirm the hospital is in-network, and bring your insurance card.
