Summary:

The No Surprises Act requires sending cost estimates to self-pay patients. Novoflow can automate this by detecting "Self-Pay" status in the appointment type, calculating the estimated cost based on your fee schedule, generating the PDF, and emailing it to the patient—all without staff intervention.

Direct Answer:

Compliance automation workflow:

• Trigger: New appointment booking with "Self-Pay" insurance type.
• Calculation: Lookup CPT codes associated with the visit type -> Sum costs.
• Generation: Populate a standard GFE template.
• Delivery & Logging: Email the document and save a copy in the patient's chart to prove compliance.

Takeaway:

Automation turns a complex regulatory burden into a background process, ensuring 100% compliance without slowing down the front desk.
