You are responsible for paying your hospital bill. Please remember that your hospitalization coverage is a contract between you and your health insurance company.

Your hospital bill includes fees for the use of the hospital and equipment, as well as the time of the hospital personnel. Your hospital bill does not include the fees of your physician(s) such as radiologists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists and emergency medicine physicians. You will be billed separately by the physician(s) for these fees.

We will contact your health insurance company, if there is any problem in processing the claim. However, if we do not receive payment from them in about 45 days, we will contact you for payment. You may then seek a refund from your health insurance company.

If you and/or your family have any questions concerning your hospital bill, please contact a billing service representative in our Patient Accounts Department at 732-745-8550. He/she can assist you with your health insurance company and any financial needs.

Payment for your complete hospital stay will be due upon receipt of your bill. Payment for personal items such as guest meals, the private room charge, etc. must be paid upon discharge.

If there are financial difficulties that make the deposit or full payment impossible, please contact our Resource Services Department at 732-745-8600, extension 5019 as soon as possible. Together, we can develop a payment schedule or determine if you qualify for New Jersey Medicaid, New Jersey Charity Care, or Saint Peter’s Compassionate Billing Rate.
