For a service(s) at Madison Healthcare Services, MHS patients will receive one monthly statement until balance is paid. Professional Fees for services by specialists may be sent directly from their billing offices.

Full payment is due and payable upon the receipt of the first statement. Payment plans may be approved by a Billing Representative for patients unable to pay in one installment.

Madison Healthcare Services may refer accounts to a collection agency if the patient is unwilling to make acceptable payment arrangements or has defaulted on an established payment plan.

Please present health insurance information & Identification Cards (ID, Passport, Etc.) upon admission. Co-pays are payable on the day of service. Patients may need to check with insurance by calling to verify if services provided would be processed as “In Network.” Uninsured patients will receive an uninsured discount for medically necessary services. Payments are due upon receipt unless other arrangements have been made.

Beginning January 1, 2021, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post a comprehensive machine-Readable file with all the items and services. The Standard Charges should include, the Gross Charge, the Discounted Cash Price, Payer-Specific Negotiated Charges and De-Identified Minimum/Maximum Negotiated Charges.

• Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.

• Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services, and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.

• When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.

• Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details. Information on Current/Standard Hospital Charges

Effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act, which Congress passed as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect patients from surprise bills for emergency services at out-of-network facilities or for out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, holding them liable only for in-network cost-sharing amounts.

The No Surprises Act also enables uninsured patients to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of care.
