Hospital Charges
Your bill reflects all of the services you receive during your stay. Charges fall into two categories: a basic daily rate, which includes your room, meals, nursing care, housekeeping, telephone and television; and charges for special services, which include items your physician orders for you such as X-rays or laboratory tests. You may receive a billing statement in the mail. This statement lets you know that your hospital charges have been forwarded to your insurance company for review and reimbursement.
Professional Fees
Physician services are billed separately. You will receive a bill from your obstetrician and a bill from your baby's pediatrician. You also may receive a bill for professional fees for interpretation of certain lab tests and/or a bill from your anesthesiologist.
