Patient Billing FAQs

After your insurance company has reviewed the bill and paid or denied their portion, we will bill you for your part of the bill. Most insurance plans require patients to pay part of their hospital bill. If you receive a bill with an estimated insurance due, please call your insurance company; this is money they have not yet paid. If you have questions about your insurance, please contact your insurance company.
