What you should know about your hospital
admission and payment options.
What to Bring
When admitting for an inpatient stay or outpatient visit, remember
to bring the following:
- Insurance Cards, or a driver's license or photo identification
if you do not have insurance
- Employer information, address and phone number
- The phone number of a family member or friend
- A list of any medications and allergies
- Any personal items you might need
Payment Options
Teton Valley Hospital & Surgicenter honors most major insurance
carriers including Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Medicare and regional
Medicaid.
Private pay patients should be prepared to pay in full at the
time of service, or make payment arrangements with our Patient
Account Representatives prior to admission.
Insurance coverage is a contract between the patient and their
carrier. Patients are responsible for all hospital charges incurred.
Insurance billing is a courtesy provided by our Billing Office.
Patients in need of financial medical assistance are encouraged
to apply to one of many available federal, state and
county programs before receiving care. If emergency care is required,
Medical Assistance programs may help cover costs.
For more information about payment options or to determine if
you qualify for Medical Assistance, call the Billing Office at
354-6325.
Pre-Admission Review
Remember to contact your insurance company prior to any scheduled
hospital stay. A pre-admission review for hospital stays over 24
hours may be required, and failure to obtain one may affect your
benefit payments.
