Paying for Your Care at Catholic Health Hospitals

Each Catholic Health hospital—Good Samaritan Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Catherine of Siena Hospital, St. Charles Hospital, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center®, and St. Joseph Hospital—is a participating provider in many health plan networks.

View a list of the plans in which we participate

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.

Each Catholic Health hospital contracts with a number of physician groups, such as anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists, to provide services at the hospital. 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 a Catholic Health hospital are likely to be needed.

Hospitals are required by law to make available information about their standard charges for the items and services they provide.
