Understanding Your Medical Bill
Providence determines your bill based on several factors, including the specific medical services and treatments you receive, the duration of your stay, the complexity of your condition, insurance coverage and the associated health care costs.
Top Bill Payment FAQs
Whether you’re insured or not, you can expect a bill from us within 30 days.
Because facilities, physicians and caregivers and medical equipment can be billed separately, you may receive more than one bill per visit. For example, you may be billed separately by each physician (e.g., surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, intensivist or hospitalist) involved in providing or reviewing your care.
Itemized bills are not routinely sent; however, you may request one at any time by calling your hospital’s patient financial services department.
Providence determines your bill based on several factors, including the costs associated with the following:
- Specific medical services, treatments and procedures you receive
- Duration of your hospital stay
- Complexity of your condition
