FINANCES
Financial Information
We appreciate you choosing Medco HealthCo for your health care needs. We know well that this may be a difficult time for you and your family, and that finances may be an additional concern. We are committed to supporting you by providing the following information to understand our charges, billing, and payment process.
Financial Specialist Team
Whether you are covered by international insurance, sponsored by an embassy or corporation, or paying for your own care, we will work with you to help ensure that the billing and payment process is as smooth as possible. Our team of financial specialists includes the following members:
The International Patient Assistants will be your primary contacts prior to arriving at Medco HealthCo. They will provide you with the details of your initial appointment and deposit, or work with your embassy to secure a letter of guarantee.
The Financial Clearance Center staff will secure any needed authorizations. If you are paying for your own expenses, a staff member will give you charge estimates once a treatment plan has been established. He or she will also answer any financial questions you may have.
Initial Deposit for Evaluation
If you are paying for your own expenses, you will be asked to pay an initial deposit to be evaluated at Medco HealthCo. The care center will determine the deposit amount based on the type of treatment for which you are being seen. The deposit amount represents the average charge for your physician to perform an evaluation, as well as the diagnostic tests that are normally performed to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. The deposit is an estimate only. Actual charges may be adjusted based on your specific needs.
Medco HealthCo deposit amounts include charges for both hospital and physician services. Other hospitals may charge only hospital charges, so if you are comparing charges at other institutions, you will want to ask for physician charges as well. Please speak to your International Patient Assistant if you need clarification. Our intent is to make sure you are aware of what the total estimated cost of your evaluation may be in advance.
Patients sponsored by embassies or corporations must have a letter of guarantee prior to receiving services. Your embassy will receive a fee statement for direct payment. Some services may require prior authorization by the embassy in order to be covered.
Charge Estimate for Treatment
Once you receive your initial evaluation by a physician and agree to a treatment plan, Financial Clearance Center staff members will provide you with a charge estimate for continued treatment. The charge estimate is based on the treatment plan that your physician recommends for you. Your actual charges may be higher or lower than the estimated amount. You may request a charge estimate for services prior to or during your visit. We understand that the cost for each treatment may become a concern for your family, so please feel free to consult us with your financial questions.
Payment
If you are sponsored by an embassy or have insurance, Medco HealthCo or our Hospital will bill your embassy or insurance company. Contact your insurance carrier for specific information that may affect your financial responsibility. For services not covered by an embassy or your insurance, or if you do not have insurance, you should pay in full prior to receiving treatment.
Payment in full is applied to hospital charges and physician charges as indicated on your statement. Medco HealthCo's accepted forms of payment are cash, money transfer and credit cards. Medco HealthCo accepts the following credit cards: Visa and MasterCard. Payments may be made directly to at your care centers, hospitals and clinics or to our banking details.
