Actually, since January 2022, you have the right to request a good faith estimate for services from healthcare providers if you're not billing insurance.

I'd like to see a law that says you get a complete and correct bill in 3 months or less as well. I avoid getting healthcare because even though I have insurance, every single time I've gone, the billing gets fucked up and I don't find out about it until 6 months, or even up to 2 years later, and I'm on the hook for that. It ought to be law, that if your office is so fucked up that you can't produce a correct bill for services in 3 months and deliver it to your customer, then you should have to nullify it.

This is great information, thanks! In several cases it wouldn't have helped us because of the 3 day advance request requirement, but at least its an improvement. Still not as good as what auto mechanics are required to provide, but its a step in the right direction.
