Good Faith Estimate: How do I add notes to my patient's estimate?

Adding Notes to an Estimate


Within the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) tool, there are a couple of places where you can add additional notes that will show on the printed or electronic version of the estimate.


Per Item

While adding a new charge to the estimate:

  • If notes or additional information is needed for a specific charge, they can be added at the bottom of the pop-up box when you add the charge to the estimate.



After the charge has been added to the estimate:

  • Click on the edit pencil icon. The screen will open so you can add any notes that are needed.



Additional overall notes

If there are notes that are needed that are overall or provider/facility-related, they can be added to the Additional Notes section.
