Patients are also encouraged to contact members of their care team (e.g., your doctor(s) and other health care providers at the Hospital) to ask:

  • for a personalized estimate of the cost of the services they will provide;
  • how and when you may be billed for their services; and
  • whether your care team participates with your insurance plan

When working with your insurance company, we encourage you to:

  • Call your insurance provider prior to hospital admission, test or doctor's visit. (Patients may receive a separate bill from other providers (i.e. Radiologists, Anesthesiologists) and those providers may or may not participate in the same health plans as the hospital. Consumers are encouraged to contact their provider to determine health plan participation.)
  • Have your insurance card ready with plan/provider/member ID number and the name and/or type of plan (HMO, PPO, etc.).
  • Verify that Holy Cross Hospital and the Holy Cross Medical Group are "in-network."
  • If your plan is an "Exchange Plan," ask the insurer if Holy Cross participates in the plan.
  • If we are not in your plan, ask if your benefit plan has "out-of-network" benefits, and what are the out-of-network copayments or coinsurance.
  • Share with them the date of scheduled service, if booked.
  • Share the name of the procedure to be performed.

Tiene derecho a recibir una "Estimación de buena fe" que explique cuánto costará su atención médica

Según la ley, los proveedores de atención médica deben dar a los pacientes que no tienen o no usan seguro una estimación de la factura de los artículos y servicios médicos. 

  • Tiene derecho a recibir una estimación de buena fe por el costo total esperado de cualquier artículo o servicio que no sea de emergencia. Esto incluye costos relacionados como exámenes médicos, medicamentos recetados, equipos y tarifas del hospital. 
  • Asegúrese de que su proveedor de atención médica le dé una estimación de buena fe por escrito al menos 1 día hábil antes de recibir su servicio o artículo médico. También puede pedirle a su proveedor de atención médica, y a cualquier otro proveedor que elija, una estimación de buena fe antes de programar un artículo o servicio. 
  • Si recibe una factura de al menos $400 más que su estimación de buena fe, puede disputar la factura. 
  • Asegúrese de guardar una copia o una foto de su estimación de buena fe.
