Client signatures aren't required on either the consent document or the Good Faith Estimate. However, if the client chooses not to sign, the provider can opt out of providing care and the client can proceed to find an in-network provider instead.
IMPORTANT: You aren't required to sign this form and shouldn't sign it if you didn't have a choice of health care provider before scheduling care.
If you are insured, you also may request a good faith estimate of the amount you will be billed for non-emergency items and services that you might like to schedule.
A good faith estimate should include expected charges for the scheduled health care items and services, including facilities fees, hospital fees, and room and board provided by the provider or facility. Good faith estimates only list expected charges for a single provider or facility.
This is called a “good faith estimate.” A good faith estimate isn't a bill. The good faith estimate shows the list of expected charges for items or services from your provider or facility.
