Billing FAQs
"Provider-based" or "hospital outpatient" refers to the billing process for services rendered in a hospital outpatient clinic or location. This is the national model of practice for large, integrated delivery systems where the hospital owns space and employs support personnel involved in patient care.
In the past, physician’s offices were billing all services, and charges were grouped together on your physician billing statement. Under this new model, patients will receive two (2) bills: One for “facility charges” and one for “professional or physician fee” charges.
Depending on their particular insurance coverage, it is possible benefits may differ for certain outpatient services and procedures at provider-based/hospital outpatient locations. We recommend patients review their insurance benefits or contact their insurance provider to determine what their policy will pay and what out-of-pocket expenses they may incur based on the location of the services provided.
