For eligibility of a Good Faith Estimate, ensure your appointment is scheduled at least three (3) business days in advance.
In the event you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the option to dispute the bill.
Your Good Faith Estimate will include the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like lab tests associated with your visit.
Upon contacting Williamsburg Family Medicine Center for a Good Faith Estimate, please allow us time to assemble your information. We will provide your estimate in writing and orally at least one (1) business day or three (3) business days of your medical visit and/or item for appointments scheduled at least three (3) business days or ten (10) business days in advance, respectively.
