Good Faith Estimate engine
A clear estimate.
Part of the same workflow.
Bring Good Faith Estimates closer to the point where patients choose and purchase care. HealthMe supports estimate generation, on-demand reissue, and a record of the estimates your team provides.
Care details
Connect the estimate to the patient, package, and provider.
Pricing
Keep price and patient responsibility visible in the care record.
Estimate record
Give your team a document record for follow-up and reissue.
For direct-pay practice teams
Give patients clarity before care begins.
An estimate is most useful when it is connected to the services and prices the patient is considering. HealthMe brings estimate tools into the practice’s direct-pay workflow.
Reissue
Provide an estimate again when your workflow calls for it. Give staff a way to support patient follow-up without starting a separate manual document process.
Keep a record
Maintain estimate history for your team. Refer back to estimates provided through HealthMe in one consistent place.
How it works

Putting it into practice
Clearer information for patients. A repeatable process for staff.
The estimate engine sits alongside HealthMe Core’s marketplace and checkout. Implementation is the time to establish who owns estimate preparation, when patients receive it, and how your team handles changes to the planned services.

Your questions, answered.
Is the estimate engine part of HealthMe’s platform?
Yes. Good Faith Estimate tools are part of the HealthMe direct-pay platform and can support the marketplace and checkout workflow.
Can our team provide an estimate again?
Yes. The engine includes on-demand reissue and estimate history so staff can support patient follow-up.
Is an estimate the same as purchasing a bundle?
An estimate communicates expected charges. A bundle describes a defined set of services and its purchase price. HealthMe helps connect those steps within the direct-pay experience.
