The Billing Process
After your visit, you will receive an informational statement to let you know that your insurance company has been billed. The statement shows the amount billed to your insurance and whether or not your insurance provider has paid its portion yet. Please be sure to read the IMPORTANT MESSAGE box for additional information about your account.
After your insurance company has paid its portion, a monthly statement will be provided we will send you an invoice that shows the outstanding amount that has been paid and any remaining balance that you are required to pay.

Premier Health services and independent physician services are billed separately. While you were a patient with Premier Health, there may have been physicians involved in your care behind the scenes, such as the pathologists in the lab or the radiologists in the imaging department, that may not be employed by Premier Health and are required to bill for their services separately.
We will bill your primary and secondary insurance providers as long as we have your insurance information on file. After your primary insurance provider has paid its amount, your secondary insurance will be billed. To provide you with reliable billing services, it is important that you notify us of changes in your insurance coverage.
Your insurance, Medicare or Medicaid benefits may not pay for some supplies and services you receive at the hospital. The hospital will bill you for these non-covered services after the insurance company has processed the bill. Non-covered services will be billed in addition to other deductibles, co-pays or co-insurance payments you may owe as specified by your insurance company. If you have questions about what your insurance will pay, please contact your insurance company.
