Good Faith Estimate
You Have the Right to Receive a “Good Faith Estimate” Explaining How Much Your Medical Care Will Cost
If you are an uninsured and/or a self-pay patient, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any nonemergency services at Siouxland Community Health Center.
Who is uninsured or self-pay? If you pay all of your health care expenses out-of-pocket and you are not enrolled in a health insurance plan that pays for part of your care, you are uninsured or self-pay. This includes patients who do not receive Medicaid, Medicare, or commercial health insurance through an employer or the healthcare.gov marketplace.
How do I get a Good Faith Estimate? The estimate will be given to you in writing at least one business day before your scheduled appointment or service.
For questions or more information about your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov.
