Your Hospital Bill and Insurance

After you leave our Hospital, you will receive an itemized bill or statement for your stay. Your bill will include the use of the hospital room itself, 24-hour skilled nursing care, local telephone calls, meals, linens, medical records, business services, housekeeping and other similar services. Various tests and procedures, specialized care, and medications ordered by your physician will not be included in your room charge. These will appear on another statement sent to you upon discharge as well.

Any portion of your bill not covered by insurance or met by your initial deposit is due and payable from you immediately. If you cannot meet this responsibility, please stop by or call our Business Office to meet with one our billing representatives who can help set up payment arrangements. We will bill your insurance carriers; however, you are ultimately responsible for payment of your medical bills.

The physician who admitted you to the hospital will also send you a separate bill, which will include testing services, procedures, surgery, or consultations that involve any other physicians. All other physicians involved in your treatment will also send you separate bills.

For your convenience, we accept most major credit cards, personal checks and cash. Should you have any questions regarding your bill or financial responsibility, please contact our Business Office at 562-904-5025.
