Please notify your physician if pre-certification is required prior to any elective tests or procedures. It is essential for you to know if your insurance requires pre-certification in order for payment to be made for your services. It is the patient’s responsibility to contact their insurance health plan to confirm that NCH is an in-network provider. Although NCH participates in many managed care plans it is very important for you to determine if NCH is a provider under your plan and ensure you have benefits that will pay for the services ordered by your physician or medical provider. We ask that you accept responsibility for paying for those services in a timely manner. NCH accepts responsibility for providing you with high-quality medical services.

Payment can be made by cash, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, on our website by phone 23 or 80. We will accept that amount as full payment if the amount is received within 60 days. The statements you will receive following your service will reflect a discounted amount due. (Patient requested private room or Gulfview Suite, cosmetic procedures and patient convenience charges are not discounted). If you have no insurance coverage, a cost-sharing plan, coverage through a charitable organization, or another form of payment, for hospital-based services, you are eligible to receive a 60% discount from the total billed charges for your services if the discounted balance is paid in full within 60 days. We take a positive and proactive approach to patient billing and collections with the goal of receiving payment for services rendered in the most efficient, timely and customer-friendly manner possible. To ensure the success of this commitment, we must be financially responsible. The NCH Healthcare System is committed to providing the highest quality of care to our patients.
