Legal & Privacy

Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act includes a provision that requires healthcare providers to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" of charges for care to self-pay clients upon scheduling care or upon request. A Good Faith Estimate protects individuals from surprise medical bills by increasing cost transparency and creating a patient-provider dispute resolution process for self-pay individuals to contest charges that are “substantially in excess” of the Good Faith Estimate.

Grow Pelvic Health LLC provides a Good Faith Estimate to all new clients upon booking, as well as to prospective and existing clients upon request. Such requests may be made via email to hello@growpelvichealth.com or by phone to (952) 856-0844.

Unless we both agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration: If a dispute arises between us, you agree to submit to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules. Before seeking arbitration, however, you agree to submit your concerns to us in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address in the Contact Information section below at least sixty (60) days prior to requesting arbitration so we can try to resolve your issue without resorting to arbitration. Any judgment on an arbitrator’s award, if made, is binding and may be entered into any court having jurisdiction. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy through the use of our Site, you are agreeing to a modification of the applicable statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year of the date of the act, omission or other conduct complained of and submitted to us through certified mail or it shall otherwise be forfeited forever.

Third Party Beneficiaries: The provisions of these Terms of Use are for the benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and its third-party content providers and licensors, and each shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction: This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
