The registration process sets everything in motion for submitting claims to your insurance provider and billing you any remaining balance. So, to ensure your hospital bill is accurate and timely, please use the following as a checklist of things to expect during registration.

• Provide accurate and complete information.
• Bring a photo ID.
• Bring a physician’s order.
• Present your current health insurance card.
• If you have Medicare, you will be asked additional questions as required by federal regulations to ensure Medicare is your primary insurance.
• Sign forms that authorize release of information, assign insurance benefits to the hospital and explain our privacy policies.
• Pay co-pays and any applicable deposits.

Inpatients may get a visit from a financial counselor to verify insurance coverage, answer questions about billing and financial assistance, and collect any co-pay that might be due.
