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 618-282-3831.

Please keep in mind that (with the exception 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.

Please note, your hospital bill does not include fees for the professional services of your physician, surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, consulting physicians and emergency room physicians. You will receive separate billings for services provided by these physicians and specialists.
