FAQS

No Surprise Medical Bills

When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible. Download Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills PDF.

Good Faith Estimate

Self-pay patients and those who are not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any nonemergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.

Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical item or service. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider of your choice, to provide you with this estimate before you choose to schedule the item or service.

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

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-633-4227.

Medical Center Standard Charges

Novant Health champions greater healthcare pricing transparency. As part of this commitment, we’ve made available a list of Medical Center Standard Charges for all hospital services in our system, provided in both CSV and machine-readable file formats below.

The prices listed are Novant Health hospital charges only and do not include any physician fees or other non-hospital facility charges. Charges do not reflect out-of-pocket healthcare costs determined by individual health plan design, deductibles, co-insurance, and out of pocket maximum amounts.

The comprehensive, machine-readable files below are posted to comply with federal regulations and are published in CMS' required standard template format. Due to the nature of the files, they will likely be of limited utility to any specific patient and are not intended for consumer or patient use.

Note: Updated on July 1, 2024. The medical center standard charges files are quite large and may take some extra time to download fully.
