About Your Hospital Bill

The bill for your hospitalization will be determined by the services provided to you during your stay with us. The room charge includes meals and routine nursing care. You may also have additional charges for special services such as radiology tests, laboratory tests, physical therapy, electrocardiography, special medications ordered by your physician and operating room fees.

Charges that are not covered by your particular insurance plan are due and payable upon receipt of your bill. If you have any questions about your hospital bill or if you anticipate any financial difficulty, please contact our Business Office or Patient Accounts Department (908) 788-6194, located on the first floor off the main lobby.

Answers to Frequently Asked Billing Questions

Private Physician Bills

Physician fees are usually billed separately by your physician. For example, anesthesiologist, emergency physician and radiologist fees are not part of your hospital bill.

Insurance

Most patients are covered by insurance such as Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs or other commercial insurance plans.

If you have Blue Cross, Medicare or Medicaid coverage, you must bring your identification card when you are admitted. Patients eligible for Medicare must fill out special forms at the time of admission.

If you carry other hospital insurance we will need to review your identification card and may require signed claim forms on admission with your authorization to your insurance company to pay the benefits directly to the hospital. Your insurance company may ask you to notify them of your admission.
