No Surprises Act
You may have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, patients have the right to an estimate of the bill for medical items and services upon request or if they schedule an appointment at least 3 days in advance.
- Your estimate will include only the costs that Genesis Laboratory Management, LLC will bill you for, according to the lab services requested to be performed. As a laboratory, Genesis Laboratory Management, LLC cannot predict what other medical services a patient may need and, therefore, cannot provide any estimated costs that may be charged by other unrelated health care providers or facilities, including any estimated charges by the health care provider who orders your laboratory test.
- Genesis Laboratory Management, LLC will provide a Good Faith Estimate before your appointment in the above circumstances.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and call Genesis Laboratory Management, LLC’s Billing office at 732-389-8400 or by email at metroteam@metrohealthbill.net.

Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills
