FINANCIAL & INSURANCE HELP

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an 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. A Good Faith Estimate shows the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected based on your healthcare needs at the Adams County Health Center. This estimate is based on our understanding of your needs for that visit.   

While caring for you, our providers may recommend additional services not listed here, or unknown or unexpected costs may arise during your service. Because of this, your final charges may differ from the estimate set forth in this document. Additionally, you may be billed from other third parties for services such as lab tests or other diagnostics that are sent out of our clinic.

The Adams County Health Center offers sliding discounts based on your income and the number of people in your household.  ACHC staff will help you determine which payment group you belong to.  

Make sure you receive your Good Faith Estimate from the ACHC in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask ACHC staff, including your health care provider, or any other provider you choose, 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. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.
