Henderson, Nevada, September 2026
To the billing office,
I would like the price in writing before I book.
I am paying for a myself, near ZIP . Posted self-pay prices near me run .
BoDirect puts the self-pay prices providers post side by side for your ZIP, then drafts this letter so you get your number in writing.
The same scan, six prices.The knee MRI I need is posted at six places near me, and the spread is wide. Imaging centers tend to post lower self-pay prices than hospital outpatient departments, and each provider updates its own list on its own schedule. So before I book, I want to know which number applies to me.
Which one I am asking.Having looked up the posted prices for my ZIP, I would like to book with , which posts $410 for this service. Please confirm what you will charge me, as a self-pay patient, for the scan and the reading.
Press the blue blank, or pick a row in the search, and every figure in this letter follows.
Kept on file.I have saved these prices , each with its source and the date it was checked, so I can show you exactly what I was quoted.
The request.I am not using insurance for this visit. As a self-pay patient, I am asking for a Good Faith Estimate of the expected charges. Please send it .
How it works: search, save, get it in writing, check the bill.
When the bill comes.If the bill from any one provider or facility is $400 or more above its written Good Faith Estimate, I may be able to start the federal patient-provider dispute process, within 120 calendar days of the date on the bill. I will check each bill against its own estimate.
For your records.I am writing to you myself. BoDirect helped me find the posted prices and draft this letter, but it does not book my visit, take payment for my care, or contact you for me. Please reply to me directly.
P.S.Looking up prices is free. Keeping, documenting, and checking them is BoDirect Plus: unlimited saved estimates, Good Faith Estimate request letters, bill checks, price-change alerts on saved services, and a receipt folder for HSA or FSA records.
Enclosures: the questions people search.Before I sent this, I read up on what a Good Faith Estimate covers, why prices vary so much, and what to do if the bill is higher. The guides are enclosed.
Thank you,
