Hospital Bill vs. Clinic Bill

Crawford County Memorial Hospital and its provider-based rural health clinic (Family Medicine Associates) along with its provider-based surgical clinic (Surgical Consultants of Crawford County Memorial Hospital) have separate billing procedures. When you get bills from each entity, the format may look slightly different, but each will clearly detail what the bill is for and who payment should go to.

Due to insurance regulations, there are a few instances when procedures performed inside Family Medicine Associates and Surgical Consultants require billing through the hospital. While it may seem confusing to receive a clinic bill and a hospital bill from one single visit, you can be assured there is not any duplication of charges.

Whether you receive a bill from the hospital or a bill from the clinic, it is very important to remember the following steps when making a payment:

• Be sure to include your patient account number with your payment
• Be sure to detach the payment stub on the bottom portion of the bill to return with payment
