Admissions/Billing
Financial Counseling & Payment Options
Teton Valley Hospital 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 Financial Counselor 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 our Financial Counselor at at
354-6331.

Billing Statement
In response to feedback from patients, we have changed the appearance of our statements to make them easier to read. We also send out a statement indicating what has been billed to your insurance so that you have time to plan for paying the amount not paid by insurance. These preliminary statements will state that they are "not a bill" so as to avoid confusion.

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
