Good Days Program Update
Due to a lack of funding, the Good Days program is no longer able to assist Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients with coinsurance costs. As a result, patients will now be responsible for paying their coinsurance at the time of their visit. As Medicare providers, we are legally required to collect these payments.
That said, please keep your appointment even if you're concerned about affordability—alternative payment options may be available. Your health and continued access to care are priorities we are committed to supporting.
If you have any questions or would like to speak with someone about payment options, please call us at 757-481-4400.
