Patient Accounts

Any insurance deductible or patient co-payments should be paid at time of service. If you request a private room, you will be responsible for paying the difference between charges for a semi-private room and a private room. It is important for you to understand what your insurance covers or does not cover prior to receiving health care services. Please call your insurance company prior to receiving services if you have any questions about your level of coverage.

As a courtesy to you, the hospital will bill your insurance company. If your insurance company requests additional information from you, please respond as soon as possible. A delay in returning requested information may delay payment to your account. After your discharge, the hospital will send you a monthly statement to keep you informed of any insurance payments and the balance of your account. Please read your statement carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, contact our Business Office at (570) 286-3459.

Please keep in mind that (with the exceptions of HMOs) your hospital coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company. We will work with your insurance company to expedite your claim, however, you are ultimately responsible for your account.

If you do not have medical insurance, please contact our office at (570) 286-3459.

Physician and Professional Services

Charges for your personal physician, the anesthesiologist, CRNA, radiologist, pathologist, emergency physician, or other private physician services will be billed separately from your hospital charges, as required by insurance companies. If you have questions on these bills, please call the telephone number on the bill.
