WellSpace Health accepts a broad range of payment and insurance plans, including Medi-Cal and Medicare to cover the cost of health care services.
In addition, WellSpace Health operates on a sliding fee scale, which means the cost of services is based upon income and family size. No patient will be turned away based on their inability to pay. Our staff can also help patients enroll in free or low-cost insurance, such as Medi-Cal and Covered California, that can help cover the cost of treatment and services.
We make every possible effort to work with our patients regarding payments for their treatment and services.
Payment Policy Information
Payment is due at the time of service. All applicable co-insurance, co-payments, and deductibles are due at the time of service. An estimate will be provided; payment is required before services are rendered. This does not constitute final payment, and any additional balance due after the insurance claim is settled will be due upon receipt of a bill.
Physicians’ Open Payments Notice
The Open Payments database is a federal tool used to search for payments by drug and device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. This database can be found at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov.
A link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments web page is provided for informational purposes only. The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires that detailed information about payment and other payments of value worth over ten dollars ($10) from manufacturers of drugs, medical devices, and biologics to physicians and teaching hospitals be made available to the public.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
Disclaimer: This Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known when the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. Federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill if this happens. We will expect payment at the time of service.
