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.
