Billing & Insurance
Billing & Insurance
To help patients meet their financial obligations, Morris Hospital files an insurance claim as a courtesy to patients. To do this, patients must present accurate and complete insurance information at the time of registration. A patient representative is available to assist patients with questions about private insurance, medicare, public aid and other payment issues.
The hospital bill covers the cost of your room, meals, 24-hour nursing care, laboratory work, tests, medication, therapy, and the services of hospital employees. You will receive a separate bill from your physicians for their professional services.
The hospital is responsible for submitting bills to the your insurance company and will do everything possible to expedite the claim. Please remember that your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company and that you have the final responsibility for payment of your hospital bill.
