What is that charge?
A daily room charge includes fees for the room, 24-hour nursing care, meals, housekeeping, maintenance and laundry services - all provided for your comfort and to guard you against infection and injury. Special services ordered by your physician, such as operating rooms, pharmacy, X-ray, laboratory tests, anesthesia, physical therapy, respiratory therapy and other diagnostic treatment procedures, will appear as extra charges on your bill.
Often, you will get more than one bill because separate bills are issued by Riverview and by individual physicians involved with your care, such as your surgeon and radiologist. Your hospital bill doesn’t include the fees of your attending physician, surgeon, anesthesiologist, pathologist, radiologist or consulting physician. You will be billed by their offices. We will bill your insurance company if you provide us with the necessary information.
