Billing
 

When you return home from your hospital stay with us, you will receive separate bills for specific services provided. The hospital bill will include charges for your room, food, medical supplies, and any tests or procedures performed. Your doctors may send additional bills for their medical and surgical care.


 

 
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, cashier’s check and money order.

Generally, you will receive a bill one to three weeks after you receive services from the physicians of 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 California’s 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.
