Good Faith Estimate
For any visit where insurance will not be filed, a good faith estimate is required. This includes someone that has insurance but does not plan to file the visit with their insurance. The good faith estimate attempts to provide the cost of visit for a patient that is either a sliding scale patient, uninsured or chooses not to file insurance. The good faith estimate provides the cost of a visit based on whether the visit is medical, dental, behavioral health or nutrition and gives the cost of a visit for each of the sliding scale categories plus the regular cost of a visit. Please see the document below for more on the good faith estimate and what is required if someone wishes to apply for the sliding scale.
For questions concerning the good faith estimate, please contact 706-620-4494 ext 8511 or 8513
