No Surprises Act/Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act ("No Surprises Act"), health care providers are required to provide a Good Faith Estimate of the expected charges both orally and in writing, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care services. Please inform Dr. Choy if you wish to receive a copy of an estimate, which is based on the above fee schedule.


  • The Good Faith Estimate is not a contract, and you are not required to obtain the services provided by Dr. Choy.
  • There may be additional services as part of the course of care that must be scheduled or requested separately and are not reflected in the good faith estimate.
  • The information provided in the Good Faith Estimate is only an estimate and actual services or charges may differ from the good faith estimate. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.
  • You have the right to dispute your bill if you believe your bill substantially exceeds the expected charges in the Good Faith Estimate. Substantially exceeds mean an amount that is at least $400 more than the expected charges.
  • You may contact Dr. Choy to update the bill, negotiate the bill or ask for availability of financial assistance if the bill is higher than the Good Faith Estimate.
  • You may initiate a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Initiation of a dispute resolution process will not adversely affect the quality of health care services provided to you.
  • If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.
  • There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your despite agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate.
  • If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider, you will have to pay the higher amount.
