All patients should familiarize themselves with the terms of their insurance coverage. This will help you understand the hospital's billing procedures and charges. If there is a question about your insurance coverage, a member of the Business Services Department will contact you or a member of your family while you are here regarding information needed in order to process your claims.
If You Have Health Insurance
We will need a copy of your identification card. We also may need the insurance forms that are supplied by your employer or the insurance company. You will be asked to assign benefits from the insurance company directly to the hospital.
If You Are a Member of an HMO or PPO
Your plan may have special requirements, such as a second surgical opinion or pre-certification for certain tests or procedures. It is your responsibility to make sure the requirements of your plan have been met. If your plan's requirements are not followed, you may be financially responsible for all or part of the services rendered in the hospital. Some physician specialists may not participate in your healthcare plan and their services may not be covered.
If You Are Covered by Medicare
We will need a copy of your Medicare card to verify eligibility and process your Medicare claim. You should be aware that the Medicare program specifically excludes payment for certain items and services, such as cosmetic surgery, some oral surgery procedures, personal comfort items, hearing evaluations and others. Deductibles and co-payments also are the responsibility of the patient.
If You Are Covered by Medicaid
We will need a copy of your Medicaid card. Medicaid also has payment limitations on a number of services and items.
If You Do Not Have Insurance
As a part of Anderson Regional Health System’s mission to serve the health care needs of our community, financial assistance is available to patients who are without financial means to pay for medical services. Those who are financially or medically indigent will receive care on a non-discriminatory, objective basis in keeping with our continuing need for good stewardship of limited medical and financial resources.

Anderson Regional Health System will submit bills to your insurance company and do everything possible to expedite your claim. Please remember that your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company and you have the final responsibility for payment of your hospital bill.
Your bill reflects all of the services you receive during your stay. Charges fall into two categories: a basic daily rate, which includes your room, meals, nursing care, housekeeping, etc., and charges for special services that include items your physician orders for you, such as X-rays or laboratory tests. If you have certain tests or treatments in the hospital, you may receive bills from physicians you did not see in person. These bills are for professional services rendered by these doctors in diagnosing and interpreting test results while you were a patient. Radiologists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists and other specialists perform these services and are required to submit separate bills. If you have questions about these bills, please call the number printed on the statement you receive from them.
We have several payment options available to assist you in paying your bill:
As a group health insurer and self-insured employer, Anderson Regional Health System is required to disclose rates and other price information for all covered billable services.
Anderson Regional Health System offers a wide range of medical services, including cancer, cardiac, pediatric, surgical, and trauma care. Our healthcare professionals are committed to improving the lives of those we serve.
