Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton accepts
assignment of benefits for most major insurances. Click here
for a complete list of Accepted Health
Plans. However, the primary financial responsibility for
payment of your hospital bill lies with you, the patient, or
your guarantor. Payment for patient responsibility items that
can be determined prior to admission, such as deductibles and
co-insurance, will be requested prior to admission (or prior
to discharge for emergency admissions). Payment for services
not covered by insurance will be estimated and requested as
a deposit prior to admission or during your stay in the hospital.
Any duplicate or excess payments will be promptly refunded to
the appropriate party.
If payment is not received from your insurance company within
60 days after we submit your initial bill, the unpaid balance
will become your full responsibility. Accounts uncollected at
120 days are submitted to an outside collection agency and/or
attorneys for collection. Our Patient Account representatives
in the Billing and Collection departments will assist you in
making financial arrangement for your account. However, it is
imperative that you remain in contact with us until your account
is settled. Please call ext. 6780 or 584-6780.
