COFFEYVILLE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
FINANCIAL POLICY
Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is
committed to provide you and your family members the best care
regardless of your ability to pay. However, we must collect for
services in order to be able to serve the health care needs of our
community. We also want to assist you in resolving your debt. The
following describes our financial policies.
- Emergency or urgent care: You will
receive necessary medical services regardless of your ability to
pay. You will be asked to check out at the admissions desk
before leaving the facility so that you can make
arrangements to pay for your treatment.
- Elective or scheduled services: We
will request payment for any deductibles, co-pays, and
coinsurances at the time of service when you check in.
- If you have insurance: We will
file a valid healthcare claim to your insurance company if you
have given us all required insurance information.
- Your responsibility: You are
responsible for deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, and
non-covered services. We suggest that you review your insurance
benefits contract so that you understand your benefits. There
are circumstances when you may be responsible for the entire
bill if insurance carrier denies the claim because you did not
provide required information.
- Overpayment: Refunds will be given
within 30 days. However, a refund cannot be processed until all
past due accounts are paid in full.
- Collection procedures: If your
account is not collected by the hospital after normal in-house
collection procedures, it may be referred to a collection
agency, magistrate, or attorney for further collection action in
accordance with the hospital’s established guidelines.
MAKING YOUR PAYMENTS
Payments may be made by mail, in person at
the cashier’s office located in the front lobby, at the 3rd Floor
Business Office in the Administration building, or after normal
business hours in Admissions. Payments may also be made on our web

- If you have insurance, we expect
payment for deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance balances at
the time of service. Most HMO and PPO plans require the Hospital
to collect these amounts as part of their contract with the
Hospital.
- If you do not have insurance, we
will request forty percent (40%) of the estimated charges for
outpatient services at the time of service. You may be referred
to meet with one of our Financial Advisors prior to your
appointment.
- Payment of prior outstanding accounts
may be requested prior to receiving elective outpatient services
or scheduling a new admission, unless the Business Office
approves specific payment arrangements.
- If you are unable to pay for
non-emergency outpatient services at the time of service, we
may reschedule your appointment so arrangements can be made.
- Extended payment arrangements may
be considered on an individual basis during your consultation
with a financial advisor. There are various programs available
such as bank loans and short-term monthly payment plans.
