Financial Facts

Most patients have some type of health insurance to help pay their hospital bill. However, very few health insurance programs pay the entire bill. The following guidelines may assist you in settling your account. If you have questions regarding your insurance coverage or your bill, contact our Business Office.

Blue Cross & Medicare

Both are billed directly by the hospital Business Office. Payment is made directly to the hospital. Any balance due will be payable as indicated under SELF-PAY.

Commercial Insurance

Both group and individual insurances are billed directly by the hospital Business Office. It is required that you sign an authorization to pay insurance benefits directly to the hospital. Unless the account is paid in full, the balance due will be payable as indicated under SELF-PAY.

Medical Assistance

It is required that you present your current active medical card at the time of admission to the hospital. Otherwise your account will be payable as indicated under SELF-PAY.

Financial Assistance Program

Many patients qualify for a reduction in fees owed if financial need is proven. If an individual is unable to make monthly payments and feels he or she could qualify for this benefit, then he or she should contact any Financial Counselor to discuss options. A Financial Counselor is available Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Itemized Bills

Please ask if you or your insurance carrier requires an itemized bill for services rendered at MMC. If you are requesting a bill on behalf of a patient, but do not hold the power of attorney for the patient, the patient must sign a “Release of Medical Records” to do so.

Radiology & Surgery

If you have an X-ray while in the hospital, you will receive a separate bill from Meadville Diagnostic Medical Imaging, Inc. This company is the group of physicians who view and read the X-rays. If you have surgery, you will also receive a separate bill from your surgeon and the physician who administers your anesthesia.
