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 clients 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.

Your health care provider shall provide you a Good Faith Estimate in writing prior to your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate during scheduling.

If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than estimated on (more than $400 than) your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.  It is a good idea to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 612-619-7611.

This website is hosted on Squarespace and uses third-party services to support booking, payments, and email communications. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Google Analytics
Data Used: Please refer to the appropriate Google Analytics documentation for the specific type of data it collects. For sites running WooCommerce (also owned by Automattic) and this feature simultaneously and having all purchase tracking explicitly enabled, purchase events will send Google Analytics the following information: order number, product id and name, product category, total cost, and quantity of items purchased. Google Analytics does offer IP anonymization, which can be enabled by the site owner.

Activity Tracked: This feature sends page view events (and potentially video play events) over to Google Analytics for consumption. For sites running WooCommerce-powered stores, some additional events are also sent to Google Analytics: shopping cart additions and removals, product listing views and clicks, product detail views, and purchases. Tracking for each specific WooCommerce event needs to be enabled by the site owner.

Protect
Data Used: In order to check login activity and potentially block fraudulent attempts, the following information is used: attempting user’s IP address, attempting user’s email address/username (i.e. according to the value they were attempting to use during the login process), and all IP-related HTTP headers attached to the attempting user.

Activity Tracked: Failed login attempts (these include IP address and user agent). We also set a cookie (jpp_math_pass) for 1 day to remember if/when a user has successfully completed a math captcha to prove that they’re a real human. Learn more about this cookie.

Data Synced: Failed login attempts, which contain the user’s IP address, attempted username or email address, and user agent information.

Sharing
Data Used: If reCAPTCHA (by Google) is enabled by the site owner, the sharing party’s IP address will be shared with that service. You can find Google’s privacy policy here.

Third Party Privacy Policies
Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options.

SqaureSpace.com Stats Data Used: IP address, user agent, device type, operating system, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, time of visit, and general geographic location based on IP address.

Important: The site owner does not have access to personally identifiable information through this feature. For example, the site owner can see that a page has received a certain number of visits, but cannot view which specific users accessed that page. Squarespace logs this data to provide aggregated analytics reports and does not share individual user-level data with the site owner.

Activity Tracked: Page views, visit duration, site traffic patterns, referring URLs, and search engine terms. When this feature is enabled, Squarespace also tracks performance data such as page load times, file download speeds (for images, scripts, etc.), and browser rendering times. This is used exclusively for monitoring site performance across Squarespace-hosted websites to ensure optimal function and experience for visitors.

Do Not Track (DNT): Squarespace may not honor DNT settings from visitors' browsers by default. Users can adjust their browser privacy preferences to manage cookie and tracking settings independently.
