For Hospital or Other Facility Patients:

You could receive two or more bills for services provided. Total diagnostic or treatment costs include the physician or provider’s fee, as well as hospital (or other facility) charges.

This statement is not a duplicate charge, but a separation of the facility and physician or provider’s fees. These services were provided while you were under our care, or at the request of your other physicians or providers.

Your bill from the facility may include a separate charge for use of its equipment, supplies, and technical personnel. You may also receive bills from other physicians or providers who were involved with your care if you were a patient in a hospital or other facility. If you have any questions concerning your bill, please call our office and we will be happy to assist you.
