Open Hospital Billing/Collections Policy

Providers Not Covered by Financial Assistance Policy

Unless otherwise specified, the Sutter Health Financial Assistance Policy for Hospitals does not apply to physicians or certain other medical providers who care for you while you are in the hospital. This includes emergency room doctors, anesthesiologists, radiologists, hospitalists, pathologists, and other providers. These doctors will bill you separately from the hospital bill. This policy does not create an obligation for the hospital to pay for the services of these physicians or other medical providers.
