Please be sure to bring your insurance card to your visit.

Planning to use insurance and worried about confidentiality?

If you have a Massachusetts-based insurance plan that you are not the subscriber on, Massachusetts law allows you to keep your services confidential while using your insurance.

Here’s what you need to know:

·         At least three days before your appointment, you must call your insurance company and state: “I am calling to request that my summary of payment be suppressed from being sent to the subscriber of my plan.”

·         You only need to explain that you are “seeking sensitive services” when making this request. You are not required to provide any further explanation.

·         Ask your insurance company if the request needs to be submitted in writing. If it does, click here to use this letter template.

Note: This information is specific to Massachusetts-based insurance plans. If your insurance company is not based in Massachusetts, call your insurance directly to ask if they can keep your services confidential.

Good Faith Estimates:

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost 

Under the 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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 
  • If you schedule your service at least three days in advance, 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 healthcare 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 617-616-1604
