Wiki No Surprises Act good faith estimate for walk-ins

[maryek28@outlook.com]

From what I understand, as an FQHC we have to provide our self pay patients an estimate at least one day before their service, but we often get walk-ins and same day appointments. How are we supposed to abide by this law when we have patients coming in the same day the appointment is scheduled? Does this law not apply to same day appointments?

I actually read a FAQ regarding this in the MGMA connection for July. I have attached the article for you.
