• The service you received was from a physician outside your plan's network.
• The service you received was not covered under your plan.
• You were not covered by your plan at the time of service.
• You did not provide the correct insurance information at the time of service.

Note: You likely received paperwork from your insurance company. That paperwork should explain any denials. Please contact your insurance company with questions regarding any denials.

Can you fax me my bill at work?
No. In order to protect a patient’s privacy for confidentiality reasons, itemized bills cannot be faxed to your workplace. You may either come into the hospital to the cashier's office and pick up your itemized bill or we can mail it to you.

Why is this billed as an outpatient service when I spent the night in the hospital?
For an account to be billed as an inpatient service, there must be a physician’s order. The physician who ordered your services determined that your condition did not meet the requirement for an inpatient admission. The physician's written order dictates whether we bill as an inpatient or outpatient.

Can I come in and talk to you about my bill?
Yes, you may come to the Patient Account Representative office located on the first floor of the hospital.
