Billing, Insurance and Price Transparency + -

Complete insurance and billing information must be provided at the time of registration or admission. As a service to patients, hospital representatives will complete and submit claims to insurance companies and other third-party payers on the patient's behalf. Most insurance companies require that patients obtain authorization before receiving hospital services. In that case, the patient must submit documentation that such authorization has been secured. Any expenses unpaid by insurance companies are the responsibility of the patient.

Financial Aid is Available

For those unable to pay in full at the time of service, the hospital will accept monthly payments on a pre-determined schedule, as stated in the hospital billing and payment policy and which is established with a credit representative or financial counselor. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides additional financial assistance for qualified applicants. To apply for financial assistance, a financial application and financial statement must be completed and submitted along with proof of income for initial consideration. Additional verification may be necessary in order to complete the application process.

Your appointment will take place in an outpatient department of Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. The hospital may charge an outpatient facility fee that is separate from and in addition to the bill you will receive from the physician or the provider.

FOR IN-PERSON CLINIC APPOINTMENTS, YOU MAY RECEIVE TWO CHARGES FOR YOUR VISIT:

1. A provider services bill
2. A hospital facility (clinic visit) bill

Expected Fee

We estimate the visit fee to likely range from $98 to $290. If you are scheduling other services, including diagnostic,
preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, and educational services, there may be additional applicable fees. We are providing you with a range of fees and an estimate because the actual amount of the facility fee will depend on the services that are actually provided. The fee could be higher if you require services during your appointment that we
cannot reasonably predict today.

Insurance Information

1. The out-of-pocket amount of the facility fee that you will be responsible for paying will depend on your insurance coverage.
2. Insurance companies could impose deductibles, higher copayment or coinsurance.
3. for services provided in hospital outpatient departments.
4. If you have insurance, you should contact your carrier to determine your insurance coverage and your estimated financial responsibility for the facility fee, including copayments, coinsurance, and deductible amounts for the outpatient facility fee.

Financial help for your portion of the outpatient facility fee bill may be available. If you need financial help with the outpatient facility bill, please contact our customer service at 757-312-6401.

Financial assistance information is also available here.

Receiving services here may result in greater financial liability than receiving services at a location where a facility fee may not be charged. Please check to see if your provider sees patients at other locations that do not charge a facility fee. Contact your insurance carrier to see if your provider is a participating provider and in-network at your preferred location.

You will receive a bill shortly after your discharge. Your hospital bill will include charges for the cost of your room, medications, medical and surgical supplies, X-rays and other hospital services.

Physician fees, including your personal doctor and other physicians and specialists whose services were required for your care, are billed separately by the physician and are not part of your hospital bill. These fees are payable directly to the physician and not to Chesapeake Regional. If you have questions about these fees, you should contact your physician's office.

Pay Your Bill

The Charge Description Master sheets available to view below are a listing of Chesapeake Regional Medical Center’s individual charges. These do not give an accurate calculation of your final bill as there are many factors considered regarding the physician’s determined medically necessary services that may factor into your total.
