如果我们和你们的保险公司有合同的话, we will bill you after your insurance company has processed your claim. Our billing statement lists relevant charges and clearly notes any payments we received from your insurance company.
如果你没有保险, you will need to make financial arrangements prior to receiving services at VMC; Please read about our 财政援助计划选择.
医疗保险受益人通知
To our Medicare population, please review your Medicare benefits carefully. You are responsible to know your Medicare benefits and non-covered services. 您将为任何未涵盖的服务承担经济责任. An example of a Medicare non-covered service would be any self-administered drugs provided to you during a hospital outpatient hospital visit. 如果你有医疗保险补充保险, VMC还将向他们提交所有服务的账单, 包括未支付的医疗保险费用. 如果没有药品保险, or the non-covered services are also denied by your supplemental Medicare plan, payment for those drugs will be your personal financial responsibility.
如需更完整的说明,请参阅传单, “医疗保险——我有保险吗??"

This notice applies to commercial plans (fully insured commercial, PEBB, SEBB and opted-in self-funded employer-sponsored) that are enrolled into the Balance Billing Protection Act (BBPA) for specific services. The BBPA does not apply to Medicare or Medicaid, which have other protections for enrollees. To confirm this notice applies to your health plan please contact your insurance carrier. |
Beginning January 1, 2020, Washington state law protects you from ‘surprise billing’ or ‘balance billing’ if you receive emergency care or are treated at an in-network hospital or outpatient surgical facility by an out-of-network provider.
What is ‘surprise billing’ or ‘balance billing’ and when does it happen?
Under your health plan, you’re responsible for certain cost-sharing amounts. 这包括共同付款、共同保险和免赔额. You may have additional costs or be responsible for the entire bill if you see a provider or go to a facility that is not in your plan’s provider network.
Some providers and facilities have not signed a contract with your insurer. 它们被称为“网络外”供应商或设施. They can bill you the difference between what your insurer pays and the amount the provider or facility bills. 这被称为“意外账单”或“余额账单”.’
保险公司必须告诉你, 通过他们的网站或应要求, which providers, 医院和设施都在他们的网络中. And hospitals, surgical facilities and providers must tell you which provider networks they participate in on their website or on request.
当您无法结清账单时:
Emergency Services
The most you can be billed for emergency services is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount even if you receive services at an out-of-network hospital in Washington, Oregon or Idaho or from an out-of- network provider that works at the hospital. The provider and facility cannot balance bill you for emergency services.
Certain services at an In-Network Hospital or Outpatient Surgical Facility
当你接受手术时, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, or hospitalist services from an out-of-network provider while you are at an in-network hospital or outpatient surgical facility, 你最多可以收取的费用是你的网络费用分摊额. 这些供应商不能平衡账单.
In situations when balance billing is not allowed, the following protections also apply:
如果您从网络外提供商接收服务, 在任何其他情况下的医院或设施, 您可能仍有结余账单, 或者你可能要为整个账单负责.
这项法律并不适用于所有的健康计划. If you get your health insurance from your employer, the law might not protect you. Be sure to check your plan documents or contact your insurer for more information.
如果你认为你被冤枉了, file a complaint with the Washington state Office of the Insurance Commissioner at www.insurance.wa.gov or call 1-800-562-6900.
