We understand that billing and payment for healthcare services can be confusing and complicated.

For some services you will be required to pay your co-pay or a deposit that will represent a percentage of your anticipated liability prior to the date of service. We request that you pay at the time of registration any:
- Insurance Co-payments – Co-pays are the flat dollar amounts an insurance plan requires the insured person to pay for each type of service. Hospital services that typically have co-pays, include but are not limited to Emergency Department visits, hospital outpatient stays, outpatient services, blood or blood products, etc.
- Deductibles – Deductibles are fixed dollar amounts an insurance company requires the insured person/family to pay (“meet”) each year before the insurance company starts to pay a higher share of the medical bills.
- Co-insurance – Co-insurance is the percentage of the bill that is the patient’s share. Co-insurance only applies to charges that are “covered” by that insurance company. Once the insurance company’s out of pocket (stop loss) threshold is met, co-insurance percentage will not apply.
- Non-covered Charges – Patients are responsible for paying for services that their insurance company considers “non-covered.”
