Co-payments and deductibles are taken ahead of time by our billing company for services and applied to your bill. Adolescent/minor clients must be accompanied to the first session by an adult who has legal guardianship. This adult must be able to legally consent for the adolescent/minor client to receive services.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under federal law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-877-696-6775.
