Receiving medical care inevitably leads to medical bills. However, Saint Francis Bartlett aims to simplify bill pay so patients can focus on recovery, not financial stress. With compassionate billing practices and easy online payment options, Saint Francis Bartlett eases the burden of healthcare costs for the Bartlett community.
Below we’ll explore what to expect from your SFB bills, how to understand the charges, and the various ways you can pay your Saint Francis Bartlett medical bills.
Receiving Your Bill from Saint Francis Bartlett
After receiving care at Saint Francis Bartlett, you’ll get separate bills from the hospital facility and any independent physicians involved, like anesthesiologists, radiologists, or pathologists. This allows each provider to bill only for their specific services.
The SFB billing office sends out facility bills once all your insurance claim details have been received and processed. This usually occurs within 30 days of discharge if you had an inpatient stay, or within 30 days of your outpatient visit.
Your personalized SFB bill outlines the specific charges from each hospital department. It also shows any insurance adjustments and clearly states the remaining balance owed by you. If you have questions on any charges or coverage amounts, contact the billing office for clarification.
Understanding the Charges on Your SFB Bill
Medical bills can be confusing with all the coding and medical jargon. Here’s a quick guide to understanding your Saint Francis Bartlett bill:
-
CPT codes – These 5-digit codes identify specific medical services, tests, or procedures.
-
ICD codes – These diagnosis codes document the conditions or reasons for your visit.
-
Charges – This column lists the full dollar amounts initially charged for each coded item.
-
Insurance payments – This shows any amounts paid by your health insurance to lower your total balance.
-
Adjustments – Additional discounts or write-offs provided by SFB as charity care.
-
Patient balance – The remaining amount you owe after all insurance/charity adjustments are applied.
If any part of the coding or charges seems irregular, the billing office can look into it and provide clarification.
