Charity Discount Policy
North Tampa Behavioral Health has a Charity Discount Policy that provides discounted hospital care for patients who have received Inpatient care. Prompt Pay Discounts are granted to patients who are willing and able to pay their estimated patient responsibility. In order to qualify for this discounted care, you must complete a Financial Disclosure Application and provide some documents to support your income. A financial counselor will meet with the patient within 24 business hours of admission, and a follow-up may occur at time of discharge to discuss all of the information pertaining to the financial responsibility.
Payment at Time of Service
Similar to your physician’s office visits, we will ask you for your copayment, coinsurance and/or deductible payment at the time of your services based on your specific insurance benefits. We accept major credit cards, checks, money orders and cash.
Your Hospital Bill
This is how our billing process usually works. A claim will be sent to your insurance company shortly after your services are complete.
After your insurance company receives the claim, the insurance company may contact you for additional information if needed. Please respond to your insurance company’s questions as quickly as possible so their payment to us is not delayed. Failure to respond promptly to your insurance may result in a bill for the full amount being sent to you until the matter is resolved
It usually takes 30 – 45 days for your insurance company to pay your claim. After your insurance company pays us, we will provide you with information about any amount you may still owe.
Payment
Similar to your visits to your physician’s office, we expect payment at time of service. If you are ineligible for Charity and cannot pay your entire estimated bill, we will work with you to set up monthly payment arrangements. If, after your services are received, any additional payment is due, we will send you information about any amount you may still owe. We accept major credit cards, checks, money orders and cash.
