Do you accept insurance?

We accept many insurances. Each clinician at GFI varies in what insurance they accept. Please discuss this when calling to make initial appointment.

What are your hours of operation?

GFI is typically open Monday – Thursday, 10am – 8pm. There is not always someone available to take your call, so please leave a message if the phone is not answered.

Do you schedule evening appointments?

This also depends on each clinician, as several clinicians work evening hours and some do not.

Are you offering in-person appointments or telehealth appointments?

Currently, all of our clinicians are offering telehealth appointments. Gina Early, Caroline Chance Earls,  and Latori Griffin are offering in-person appointments as well.

Good Faith Estimates: 

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

 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 1 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.
  • To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059. Keep a copy of this Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take pictures of it. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.

Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only. It does NOT involve you needing to make any type of commitment.
