Billing Information

We understand an emergency room is a stressful experience. All GSEP providers are exceptionally well trained, and we hope this was evident during your recent visit. A 3rd party company’s billing agents prepare the bill to send to the insurance company on your behalf. You can expect to see their company names on correspondences about your emergency room visit. We know that sorting through medical bills is another stressful time, so we’ve put together a list of commonly asked questions to help navigate you through the billing process.

FAQ

Can I receive an estimate of services before my visit?

We’re unable to provide you with an estimate prior to your visit because the billing process is mandated by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Your bill is figured through a coding procedure based on the level of treatment you received.

What if I don’t have insurance?

If you do not have insurance and unable to pay the full amount, please contact the billing company to arrange a payment plan.

What if I have more than one insurance company?

Once the billing company receives payment from the first insurance company they will bill the remaining amount to the second insurance company.

Why am I getting a bill from GSEP and the hospital separately?

GSEP’s physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, are not employed by the hospital.

You will receive a separate bill for the treatment and services provided by GSEP providers. The hospital’s billing and the billing for GSEP’s services are separate items and will need to be paid to the correct billing agency. The insurance companies will determine the amount due from the patient, and is often shown as an adjustment on your patient statement.

How long will it take to receive a bill?

The billing company relies on the information you provided the hospital to process the billing. The insurance company will send you a statement, which usually takes 3-4 weeks, but can take as long as 12 weeks. If your insurance or personal information has changed, please contact the billing company at the phone number listed above. If your insurance company does not pay within 45 days, the billing company may send you a notification of non-payment. Please contact your insurance company.
