Our Patient Financial Services Department will file your claim directly with your
primary and secondary insurance provider. You are responsible for the charges for
your stay in the hospital. If you do not receive a notice of payment from your insurer
within 60 days of receiving a copy of your hospital bill, we recommend that you contact
the insurer directly and encourage speedy payment. For more information, please call
(310) 303-7400.
Payment Tips
Please keep each statement separate. Do not combine your statements and submit one
payment. Pay each office separately.
We accept American Express, Discover Card, MasterCard and Visa as well as personal
check, cashiers check and money order.
Generally, you will receive a bill one to three weeks after you receive services from
the physicians of Providence Little Company of Mary. If you have health insurance, our
billing office will first bill your insurance carrier for all services. If your
insurance plan does not cover a service or procedure or does not cover the entire cost,
you will be responsible for the uncovered fees.
Medicare
If you are covered by Medicare, we will submit your claims to Medicare on your
behalf. After Medicare makes its payment, we will bill your supplemental insurance
carrier for the remaining balance. If you do not have supplemental insurance, you
will be responsible for the balance.
Medi-Cal
Medi-Cal is Californias Medicaid program, a medical assistance program
for low-income residents funded by the state and federal government. If you
are covered under this program, please provide an eligibility card or other
proof of eligibility for each month of service.
