Insurance & Health Plans
Most hospitalization insurance policies do not cover all expenses incurred. You are ultimately responsible for your account. In some cases, we may ask patients to pay the deductible and co-insurance portions before or during their stay. Some insurance plans require pre-certification prior to admission. Please follow all requirements of your insurance plan and make any arrangements deemed necessary by your insurance company.
Patients who are not insured will be asked to make a deposit either before or at the time they are admitted. The balance of the hospital bill can be paid when the patient is discharged, unless other arrangements have previously been made.
