Paying Your Hospital Bill

It’s important to understand that you are responsible for payment - regardless of your insurance coverage or other factors involved in your treatment.

When you are hospitalized, we will ask for your insurance information at the time of admission, along with your insurance identification card. The hospital will verify your coverage with your employer and/or insurance company. A deposit may be requested if your insurance coverage is not sufficient to cover the anticipated bill. 

We will bill your insurance company for payment. You will be asked to pay any deductibles, co-payments, and the difference (if any) between the estimated insurance coverage and the hospital charges when you are discharged. You may pay these charges by cash, check, money order, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or American Express. You may also pay online or by bank draft using your credit card.

Financing should be arranged ahead of time with your credit union, bank, or other personal source of funds if you anticipate problems.

Slow payments from your insurance company can be a problem for you. You could be expected to pay the bill in full if your insurance carrier does not pay your bill on time. We would encourage you to discuss this problem with your insurance company. 

Overpayments will be refunded promptly.

Your Hospital Bill

Your total bill will reflect charges for your daily hospital stay, all testing procedures, surgical procedures and pharmaceuticals. Your hospital bill does not include fees for the professional services of  your physician, anesthetist, radiologist, pathologist, or other physicians. You will receive a separate bill for each of these services from the doctor who provided them. 

Final Statement 

The itemized bill you receive when you are discharged is only an estimate of the total charges because it can take several days for certain charges to be posted to your account. For this reason you may receive another statement by mail in addition to the bill you paid when you left the hospital. 

If you have any questions about your final statement, please call the Business Office 903-408-1100.
 

Outpatient Services 

Check with your insurance provider for details about coverage of outpatient services offered by Hunt Regional Medical Center. 

You will be asked for your insurance information when you visit one of our clinics or have diagnostic services performed. Other payment options can be discussed at that time or you may call ahead to ask questions about paying for services. 

Services provided by your doctor are billed separately from hospital charges.
