INSURANCE
Wilbarger General and the health care providers in our Wilbarger General Medical Group accepts most major health plans. WGH has signed preferred provider contracts and is therefore considered in network with most major providers. Please check with your health insurance carrier for confirmation regarding your specific plan and covered services.
Please keep the following in mind when paying your bill:
- Our Wilbarger General Medical Group members accept the same insurance plans as Wilbarger General. However, other local physicians may not accept the same insurance plans. Please check with your health care provider to ensure they accept your insurance.
- You may receive a bill from participating providers for deductibles, copays and/or coinsurance.
- If you have certain tests, treatments or procedures in the hospital, you may receive bills from physicians you did not see in person. These bills are for professional services rendered by these physicians in diagnosing and interpreting test results while you were a patient. Pathologists, radiologists, emergency physicians and other specialists perform these services and are required to submit separate bills. (These physicians are not employed by the hospital.) If you have questions about these bills, please call the number printed on the statement you receive from them.
PAYING YOUR BILL
To help ease the stress of a stay in the hospital, Wilbarger General will submit bills to your insurance company and will do everything possible to expedite your claim. However, please remember that your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company, and you have the final responsibility for payment of your hospital bill.
We have several payment options available to assist you in paying your bill. Once payment or denial has been received from insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, additional statements will be sent and payment or establishments of payment arrangements should be made within 30 days.
