You will receive a bill for any remaining balance after we have received payment from Medicare and your supplemental insurance
We must follow certain rules when billing Medicare. These include:
If you have Medicaid, you must be eligible for coverage at the time of service and present a card for the current month. If your Medicaid card shows you have additional insurance, you must also present that insurance card at the time you register.
A financial advocate can help you decide if you qualify for any programs from the state in which you reside.
If you do not qualify for Medicaid or full financial assistance, you will be asked to make payment arrangements. The amount you pay monthly will be based on the balance of your bill and your capacity to pay.
Financial assistance may be available to cover emergency or medically necessary services to those who are financially unable to pay. Financial assistance documents and application are available below. The amount of assistance you will receive will depend on:
