Good Faith Estimates (GFE)
Bring your practice into compliance with the Federal No Surprises Act
Compliance doesn’t need to be complicated.
The HealthMe GFE Engine™ is a turnkey solution for compliance with the Good Faith Estimate requirements of the No Surprises Act.
Enacted into law on January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act mandates that all healthcare providers be able to provide Good Faith Estimates of the cost of care to uninsured and self-pay patients. These GFE requirements apply to physician group practices and to ambulatory surgical centers.
How the HealthMe GFE Engine™ Works
GFE generation for all office locations
Whether your practice has one office or dozens of locations, the HealthMe GFE Engine enables instant GFE generation by location and facility. The push-button solution seamlessly allows your practice to deliver, track, and store GFEs automatically.
Streamline workflow + empower employees
Consistent messaging from your practice to self-pay patients is critical. Your staff doesn’t need to sweat GFE compliance. Empower them to confidently answer patient questions regarding GFEs and even generate GFEs on behalf of patients instantaneously.
Save money & time: Starting now
CMS estimates that each GFE will take 1.3 hours of a staff time, costing on average $203 to produce a single estimate. HealthMe’s GFE engine reduces the time it takes to generate estimates for patients to less than 30 seconds and eliminates risks of human error or mistakes.
Compliance branded to your practice
The HealthMe GFE Engine provides patients a simple tool in which they can self-generate their own customer GFE directly from your website, on-demand. Alternatively, your staff can generate estimates on behalf of the patient all through a secure, encrypted, HIPAA compliant solution
