Cost of Care

10/28/2016

All Bon Secours Charity Healthy System Hospitals (Good Samaritan Hospital, Bon Secours Community Hospital, and St. Anthony Community Hospital) are participating providers in many health plan networks. You can find a list of the plans in which we participate HERE. Some health plans use smaller networks for certain products they offer so it is important to check whether we participate in the specific plan you are covered by. Our list will tell you if we do not participate in all of a health plan’s products.

It is also important for you to know that the physician services you receive in the hospital are not included in the hospital’s charges. Physicians who provide services at the hospital may be independent voluntary physicians or they may be employed by the hospital. Physicians bill for their services separately and may or may not participate in the same health plans as the hospital.

You should check with the physician arranging your hospital services to determine which plans that physician participates in. Plan participation information for physicians employed by the Bon Secours Charity Health System Medical Group or Bon Secours Charity Health System facilities can found HERE. Bon Secours Charity Health System contracts with a number of physician groups, such as anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists, to provide services at the hospital. Contact information for the physician groups the hospital has contracted with is available HERE. You should contact these groups directly to find out which health plans they participate in.

You should also check with the physician arranging for your hospital services to determine whether the services of any other physicians will be required for your care. Your physician can provide you with the name, practice name, mailing address and telephone number of any physicians whose services may be needed. Your physician will also be able to tell you whether the services of any physicians employed or contracted by Bon Secours Charity Health System are likely to be needed, such as anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists. Contact information for these physicians is available HERE. You should contact these groups directly to find out which health plans they participate in.
