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 benefit payments.

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
