Please note:

Most insurance plans require you to obtain a referral from your primary care physician and/or an authorization or pre-certification which provides the proof that the services you will be receiving at the hospital are approved.  If this type of approval applies to you then you will be asked for one or more of the following:

• Pre-certification / authorization #
• PCP name
• PCP phone number
• PCP referral
• Referral expiration date

If you are not covered by an insurance plan, you or a family member should contact one of our financial counselors prior to your visit to determine alternative sources of funding and/or payment options.

Insurance Information

Pre-verification of your benefits should take place prior to your admission and outpatient services.  For patients arriving in the Emergency Department, verification of benefits will occur prior to discharge when at all possible.

Insurance co-payments and deductibles will be collected at the time of service.  HMO patients and patients participating in a managed care program must present with written authorization or a referral from your HMO or primary care physician at the time of service.

Please note that many insurance companies require pre-certification prior to services being rendered.  It is important to familiarize yourself with your particular benefit requirements to insure maximum reimbursement from your carrier.
