If you have hospitalization insurance, the Medical Center will bill and accept payment from your insurance company provided that certain conditions are met. However, you are responsible for payment of your hospital bill regardless of insurance coverage. In the event that the insurance payment is not made within 45 to 60 days, you will be billed for payment in full. Any non-covered charges, such as deductible, telephone, television or any portion of your bill not covered by insurance, will be due at the time of discharge.

A deposit is required upon admission for patients with insufficient hospitalization insurance. For information on deposit requirements, contact the Patient Accounts Department at 329-7102 if your last name begins with A-L or 329-7103 if your last name begins with M-Z.

A member of Russell Medical Center's Medical Staff requested your admission. Our admission personnel will obtain information from you that is required by law and will help us to serve you better.

Payment arrangements for your hospital bill should be made prior to admission. Should you anticipate any difficulty in financing your stay or have any questions regarding your bill or insurance coverage, please contact our Business Office at extension 7347. Business Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
