COST OF CARE

• Insurance

Insurance
Summit accepts and extensive insurance profile tailored to support the communities we serve. As a patient, you assume responsibility for paying any charges that your insurance company denies or does not pay. If you have questions about your co-payment requirement or about other benefits, call your insurance company directly.

• Medicare & Medicaid

Medicare & Medicaid
Medicare will only pay for services that it considers to be medically necessary. Prior to receiving services, you may be asked to sign an Advanced Beneficiary Notice if we believe that Medicare may not consider the service you are considering to be medically necessary.
You are expected to pay for all services that Medicare does not consider to be medically necessary and any other services Medicare excludes for any other reason.
Check your Medicare handbook for a list of services excluded by Medicare or visit the Medicare website by visiting our Resource Page

• Patients without Health Insurance

Patients without Health Insurance
Patients desiring to schedule out-of-pocket services are kindly requested to submit a deposit and coordinate payment arrangements for the remaining charges before the services are rendered. A patient financial representative will reach out to facilitate payment for your bill. In the event that a balance persists after services have been rendered, a bill for the outstanding amount will be sent to you by mail.

• Other Bills for Treatment

Other Bills for Treatment
Your bill from Summit Home Care is only for home care or hospice services. Depending upon the services you received, you may be billed by your personal physician, other physicians who were involved in your care, and/or physicians who administered/interpreted your test results, and/or provided additional care services.
