Paying Your Bill
Please read below for more specifics. If you still have questions, please call 718-250-8080.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to deal with health and billing issues all at the same time. We also know that medical bills and insurance details can get confusing. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible for our patients to understand.
Hospital Statement
Hospital bills are based on the type and complexity of the care received. The amount owed may include insurance deductibles, non-covered services or items, co-payments, co-insurance, in appropriate cases, and/or balances due after insurance has paid on a charge.
We file a claim with the patient's insurance carrier. For certain types of insurance coverage, if there is a balance due after the insurance company has processed the claim, or if the person does not have insurance, we will mail a statement (see sample bill) that shows the balance due after insurance payments.
Payment Expectations
Please note that account balances are to be paid 21 days from the statement date. If a person is unable to pay in full by that date, the person is advised to contact our Financial Representatives to make payment arrangements.
