Billing Frequently Asked Questions

I was seen in the Emergency Room. Will my ER visit bill have my ER Doctor bill on it?

I had X-rays when I received care at Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center. Will the bill for the radiologist that read my X-ray be included in my hospital bill?

No, the radiologist that read your X-ray will send you a bill.

When do I need to pay my deductible or co-pay?

Deductibles and co-pays are collected at the time of service by the registration staff for outpatient and the financial counselor will collect Inpatient deductibles. This is a good practice in Healthcare to help cut cost.

How do you know how much my deductibles or co-pays are going to be?

When we pre-register outpatient diagnostic services and surgery services, we pre-cert your visit to make sure the insurance will pay for your services. At that time your insurance company provides your deductible or co-pays.
