Understanding Your Bill
Many people do not realize there may be several separate bills for care received during a hospital stay. The hospital will issue a bill for its services. Physicians will issue you a bill for services they provided during your stay.
The hospital’s bill for inpatient stay covers:
- The room
- 24-hour nursing care
- All meals, snacks and beverages
- Linens
- Medical supplies

In addition, you may receive separate bills from:

- Radiologist who read your x-rays
- Pathologist who examined blood or tissue specimens
- Surgeon
- Anesthesiologist
- Physician consultants
