About Your Bill
Your physicians' fees are not included in your Hospital bill. You will receive separate bills from your attending physicians and/or surgeons who participated in your diagnosis and treatment. Also, specialists such as anesthesiologists, radiologists, and cardiologists will bill you separately for their services.

How to Pay

• Insurance Coverage
  Most insurance companies require pre-certification or authorization for hospital admission. This means that you must notify the insurance company prior to your admission to the Hospital, or within 24 hours after emergency admission. This pre certification/authorization is your responsibility. Failure to complete this process will cause unnecessary additional costs, for which you are responsible.
  
  You will be asked to sign a permission form concerning consent for treatment and release of medical information to your insurance company. Your insurance coverage will be evaluated prior to, or at the time of, your admission. Most insurance plans will make payments directly to the Hospital if you have signed an assignment form. If your Hospital bill is being paid by no-fault automobile insurance or workman's compensation, we will need verbal or written approval, along with your claim numbers, from the carrier before your bill can be processed.
  
  If any part of your bill is not covered by insurance, it is your responsibility to make arrangements to pay by check, credit card, or payment plan. If you are concerned about your ability to pay or wish to discuss available sources of assistance, please call our Billing Office at 522-2552.
