Legal Question in Health Care Law in California

Hi My Dr's office has this disclaimer in his office policies & you have to sign or they wont see you " I agree to pay my co-pay or estimated portion at the time of visit. If I am billed for my co-pay there will be a $15.00 added." is this legal?

Thanks
