How will I be charged?
No one is asked to pay before receiving emergency care. However, patients who use the services of the Emergency Department will get two or more bills depending on the treatment received. One bill will be for the SGMH Emergency Department, including any tests you may have had when you were in the ED, such as blood tests or x-rays; medications you received; or supplies used. A second bill will also be sent for the care the doctor gave you, including what he/she had done (for example stitching a cut, or splinting a fractured bone). If x-rays were taken, a third bill will be sent to you from the radiologist who read your x-ray.
When visiting the emergency room, you will be expected to pay any co-pay or deductible that your insurance has indicated is due for the emergency room services. The amount of your specific co-pay or deductible is typically listed on your insurance card for your reference. If you do not have insurance coverage at the time of service, there will be a $150.00 deposit that will be requested.
If you have any questions about your hospital bill, please call us at (951) 769-2177. You may pay your bill online at our website at www.sgmh.org "click" on "Bill Pay On-Line."
