No Surprises Act Standard Notice
“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges Under the No Surprises Act”
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. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or contact our office via phone at (480) 322-5720 or via email at info@vhteaz.com.

The best way to confirm your benefits is to reach out to your insurance company directly. Our practice coordinator is happy to help by verifying your coverage as well. Ultimately, it’s important to double-check your plan details so you know what’s covered and what to expect.
If you are paying out of pocket, payment is due at the time of your session. If you’re using insurance, the amount you pay will depend on your plan and may include a copay, deductible, or other fees.
It’s always a good idea to verify your benefits with your insurance company, and our Practice Coordinator is happy to help clarify any questions about your specific coverage.
We have a 48-hour cancellation policy to help us keep our schedule open for all clients. If you need to cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice or miss your appointment, a fee of half the private-pay rate will apply ($125 for Dr. Butler, $70 for provisionally licensed clinicians). We understand that life happens, and this policy helps us balance flexibility with fairness for everyone.
