Participating Insurance Companies
Thank you for choosing Deckerville Hospital for your medical services. This handout is designed to help our uninsured and underinsured patients understand our billing process, payment options, and services available. This information applies only to your hospital bill and does not include any bills received from anesthesiologists, specialists, ambulance companies, or radiologists. They may bill you separately for their services.
Deckerville Hospital offers a prompt-pay discount option to our uninsured/underinsured patients. If your account is paid in full within 30 days of your bill date you will receive an additional 20% discount off of the balance due.
Patient account balances are due upon receipt. Patients may elect to make payment arrangements for their hospital bill. A Financial Agreement must be signed before the Business Office can accept payment arrangements that allow patients to pay their hospital bills over time. Deckerville Hospital works with its patients to set a monthly payment amount that you will be able to pay each and every month. We do require an initial payment of 20% of the total balance prior to your set dollar amount. Payments must reach the Hospital Business Office by the due date of every month.
Failure to make consistence monthly payments will result in your account being referred to an outside collection agency. Delinquent accounts referred to outside collection agencies will be assed all charges on accounts, but not limited to, collection costs, attorney’s fees, and court filing fees. The status of the account may be reported to credit bureaus.
It is imperative that you contact the Business Office at (810)376-7012 if you are unable to make a payment that will reach our office by due date so that we can make other arrangements with you.
You may be eligible for a government-sponsored health benefit program. Deckerville Hospital has staff available to assist you with applying for government assistance like Medicaid, Children’s Special Health Care Services, and Family Planning Services to pay your hospital bill.
Uninsured patients who have an inability to pay their bill may be eligible for charity assistance. The eligibility for charity is based on income and family size. All potential payer sources must be exhausted before a patient is eligible for charity. A charity application is available in the Admitting Department or Business Office. We can also send you a copy if you contact our Business Office at (810)376-7012.
You may request a written estimate of your financial responsibility for hospital services. Requests for estimates must be made during business hours. The estimate will provide you with an estimate of the amount the hospital will require the patient to pay for health care services, procedures, and supplies that are reasonably expected to be provided by the hospital.
Estimates are based on the average length of stay and services provided for the patient’s scheduled procedure or services. They are not promises to provide services at fixed costs. A patient’s financial responsibility may be more of less than the estimate based on the services the patient actually receives.
The hospital can provide estimates of the amount of hospital services only. There may be additional charges for services that will be provided by specialist physicians, anesthesiologists, radiologists, ambulance companies or other medical professionals who are not employees of the hospital. Patients will receive a separate bill for these services.
If you have any questions about written estimates, please contact the Business Office at (810)376-7014.
If you have any additional billing questions, or if you would like to pay a bill by telephone, please contact the Business Office at (810)376-7012.
