It is common for insurance companies to send out questionnaires to confirm your hospital admission after they receive the hospital bill. If you receive a questionnaire from your insurance company, complete it right away and return it to the insurance company to ensure they process your bill, or they may refuse to make a payment. If your insurance company refuses to make a payment because of an incomplete questionnaire, charges will be billed to you directly.
Invoices and statement reminders are sent out every 30 days. At 90 days, you will receive a final invoice. If the account remains unpaid 15 days after the final invoice, the account will be sent to our external collection agency without further follow up.
We will attempt to call and get an updated address from you. If we are unable to contact you due to incorrect information on file, your invoice will be sent to our collection agency without further follow up.
It is imperative that this information is received within the first 30 days from the time of admission. Please ensure to include a copy of your insurance document and MRN number on the email, which you can locate on your discharge papers.
