Patients with No Insurance Coverage

Hospital and/or Doctor Bills
Although some or all of your services may have been received at The Nebraska Medical
Center, each doctor's group is a separate business and has its own billing procedures.
You may receive a separate bill from physicians for their services. In some cases,
you may receive a bill from a physician you did not see, for such services as radiology
imaging review, pathology specimen analysis, consultations, and anesthesia during
surgery.
In addition, you may receive a bill from The Nebraska Medical Center even if you
did not visit the hospital. Your physician may have sent a specimen to our hospital
lab for analysis.
Payment Options
Payments may be made by check, money order, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover,
or American Express). Please return the top portion of your bill with your payment.
If you are an employee of The Nebraska Medical Center you may make arrangements
for payroll deduction by stopping at ACCESS Services or Patient Financial Services.
If paying with a web-based or electronic payment system, please include your responsible
party ID number with the payment.
