Notice of Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a ‘Good Faith Estimate’ explaining how
much your medical care may cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance a cost 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, drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- 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 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 1-800-985-3059.
Male Patients
Because your time is valuable to us, when making an appointment to see a clinician, please call to confirm the provider is licensed to examine male patients.
Insertion of contraceptive devices (Nexplanon implant and intrauterine devices)
Insertions are done at the clinician’s discretion. An IUD or implant insertion may be deferred due to your reproductive history and/or your visit may take extra long if other testing or procedures are needed. Please bring a copy of your most recent pap and STI results if performed at another doctor’s office.
Appointments
When making an appointment online, please be as accurate as possible when selecting the reason for your visit. We encourage you to phone the Call Center if you do not see an appropriate option or to confirm you will be able to see a clinician. If you do not select the appropriate appointment option, you run the risk of your appointment being rescheduled.

Self-Pay
