No Surprise Act notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Health care providers must 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, including related costs like medical services and laboratory fees.
• Your provider must give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing for scheduled services within designated timeframes. You can also ask for one before you schedule.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Vaccine information

Here at Meridian Family Medicine, we support childhood immunizations. We recognize the vital role vaccinations play in safeguarding the health of your children. Getting your child vaccinated not only helps protect your child, it also helps protect others in your community.

Our hope is to provide information and answer questions to help you make a good decision for you and your child. We strive to partner with you in your child's care, without judgment and with sound reasoning. Please approach any of our providers or clinical staff with questions you may have regarding immunizations.
