Why did my insurance deny the claim?

The most common reasons for denial of a claim include:

• The service you received was from a physician outside your plan's network.
• The service you received was not covered under your plan.
• You were not covered by your plan at the time of service.
• You did not provide the correct insurance information at the time of service.

Note: You likely received paperwork from your insurance company. That paperwork should explain any denials. Please contact your insurance company with questions regarding any denials.

Why am I receiving a refund check?

There was an overpayment to your account. Either you paid too much on the account or your insurance paid at a later date and covered some of what you already paid.

Why am I getting another bill when I already paid?

The statement may have been mailed before the payment was posted to your account. To verify, please call us at 317.776.7141. Please provide your name, date of birth, account number, and date you were in the hospital, and we will verify that the bill was paid.

Can you fax me my bill at work?

No. In order to protect your privacy, itemized bills cannot be faxed to your workplace. You may come to the cashier’s office at the hospital and pick up your itemized bill, or we can mail it to you.

Why is this billed as an outpatient service when I spent the night in the hospital?

For an account to be billed as an inpatient service, there must be a physician’s order. The physician who ordered your services determined that your condition did not meet the requirement for an inpatient admission. The physician's written order dictates whether we can bill it as an inpatient or outpatient visit.

Can I come in and talk to you about my bill?

Yes, you may come to the Patient Account Representative office at the hospital. Please call 317.776.7141 to make an appointment.
