Good Faith Estimates
SUNCOAST COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS (SCHC), INC.,
STATUS OF GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE PROCESS
CURRENT AS OF 12/04/2023
On September 30, 2021, The United States Department of Health and Human Services released its second Interim Final Rule (IFR) to protect consumers from surprise medical bills, implementing the “No Surprises Act”.
The IFR establishes a requirement for health care providers to provide uninsured and self-pay patients with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of their total out-of-pocket cost for services upon request or after they schedule an appointment.
At this time, when scheduling an appointment via the telephone we can only provide a generalized GFE. This is because all relevant factors cannot be verified via telephone.
