Ever opened a medical bill and felt your heart drop? We want to make sure that never happens to our members.

This applies to any non-emergency items or services and includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Here's what you need to know:

▶ 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.

▶ 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.

▶ A healthcare provider is not required to issue a Good Faith Estimate if the appointment or services are scheduled less than 3 business days in advance. In this case, the patient would have to request a Good Faith Estimate.

Please Note: Because the good faith estimate is based on information known at the time your provider or facility creates the estimate, it won’t include any unknown or unexpected costs that may be added during your treatment. However, If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute your bill.

Today isn’t just about flowers and brunch; it’s about recognizing the incredible value and wonder of motherhood. To our community, mothers are the first teachers, the primary caregivers, and the steady hands that shape the next generation.

To us personally, they are our first home. They are the ones who saw our potential before we could even speak, and whose sacrifices often go unseen.

Moms... you are so much more than just part of our world; you are the foundation it’s built on. Thank you for your endless patience, your quiet strength, and for making the world a kinder place, one hug at a time. ❤️💐

Nursing is often a demanding, behind-the-scenes job, but the impact of a nurse’s care is felt long after a patient leaves the room. To the nurses in our lives—your dedication, expertise, and compassion do not go unnoticed.

Take a moment today to send a thank-you note or a simple message to a nurse you know. Sometimes, a small gesture of gratitude is the best way to brighten the day of someone who spends theirs caring for others.
