Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate at Maryville Spine & Laser

At Maryville Spine & Laser Chiropractic Clinic, we believe in transparent healthcare costs. Under federal law, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. This estimate is specifically for patients who do not have insurance, or who choose not to use their insurance, for medical items and services.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

A Good Faith Estimate provides you with the total expected cost of any non-emergency medical items or services. This comprehensive estimate includes all related costs, such as medical tests, prescription drugs, necessary equipment, and any associated facility fees.

Your Rights Regarding a Good Faith Estimate

To ensure you are fully informed about your healthcare expenses, please keep the following rights in mind:

Receive It In Writing: Your healthcare provider must give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled medical service or item.

Request an Estimate: You have the right to ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you even schedule an item or service.

Save Your Copy: It's important to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

How to Dispute a Bill

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute that bill.
