Understanding Your Statement
Your insurance company or any responsible third parties are billed prior
to sending you a final bill. All parties have processed these charges.
The balance due on this statement is your portion of the bill and your
responsibility to pay at this time.
You may have received one of two bill formats, depending on the date(s)
of your medical services.
If your care took place prior to June 2, 2018, your bill may look like this:

previous billing statements page for futher instructions on how to pay your bill.
If your bill looks like the image below, use the other dropdown accordion
options on this page to choose your payment method.
Hospital and/or Doctor Bills
You may receive a separate bill from physicians for their services. In
some cases, you may receive a bill from a physician you did not see, for
such services as radiology imaging review, pathology specimen analysis,
consultations, and anesthesia during surgery. In addition, you may receive
a bill from the hospital even if you did not visit the hospital. Your
physician may have sent a specimen to our hospital lab for analysis.
