Patient Friendly Billing
Before Treatment
Registration
We are pleased that you and your physician have chosen our facility.
Our goal is to make your registration as smooth as possible. To assist in this registration,
please complete and return the pre-registration form at least five days before your
scheduled visit. For details on how to pre-register, you can find more information
here:

Please contact your insurance company before your hospital visit to meet any pre-authorization
requirements. If these requirements are not met, your benefits may be reduced, leaving
you responsible for paying most or all of your hospital expenses. Patients covered
by Medicare will also need to complete the Medicare Secondary Payer Questionnaire
(at the end of this page).
We appreciate your cooperation in assuring that this personal and insurance information
is up-to-date.
Determining In Network versus Out-of-Network Coverage
Please verify with your insurance company, prior to receiving treatment, whether
or not The Nebraska Medical Center is an in-network facility. The Nebraska Medical
Center may be contracted with your insurance company; however, your plan may not
be included.
We also recommend that patients verify that physicians who will be providing care
are in-network providers for their insurance. Hospital charges may be in-network
but some of the physicians who provide services at The Nebraska Medical Center may
not. It is the patient's responsibility to know which providers are in his/her
network.
Pre-Certification
Many health insurance companies now require pre-admission certification, pre-authorization,
or a second medical opinion before payment is made for an admission and/or outpatient
treatment at a hospital. We recommend that patients call their insurance company
to ensure that these requirements are met prior to your treatment.
