Insurance Billing

 

As a courtesy to our patients, the hospital will submit bills to your insurance company and will follow the processing of your claim. However, it may be necessary for you to contact the insurance company to expedite payment. Remember that your policy is between you and the insurance company. It is the patient's responsibility and obligation to ensure that hospital bills are paid promptly, regardless of pending litigation resulting in an injury caused by a third party. You have final responsibility for your bill.
