Regulations require physicians to bill you separately from Speare Memorial Hospital for services they perform while you are a hospital patient. This means that you, your health insurance carrier, or Medicare may receive as many as five or six bills from different providers for a single hospital stay. Many of these bills will come from physicians who worked behind the scenes to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of your illness. They might include radiologists, pathologists, and anesthesiologists, etc.

Although you will receive more than one bill, please remember that you will not be paying for the same service twice. Your bill from the hospital reflects charges for the use of the facility, equipment, personnel, and supplies.

The physician's bills reflect charges for their specialized services, which were ordered by your physician.

We realize that separate billing may be inconvenient, confusing, and frustrating to you. We are in total sympathy with your feelings. This billing system is imposed by regulations, which we are required to follow.
