You may receive more than one bill for the services you receive today. In addition to the facility bill, you may receive one or more bills from other providers involved in your care and treatment. These providers
include, but are not limited to:
- Attending Physician: the physician primarily responsible for your care during your visit;
- Radiologist: a physician who reads X-rays and provides a report to your attending physician;
- Pathologist: a physician who supervises laboratory tests and studies tissue samples;
- Anesthesiologist: a physician who gives anesthesia and performs related procedures; and/or
- Consulting physician: usually a specialist in certain diseases and body systems.
Although the hospital may participate in your health plan, a physician involved in your care may or may not be a participating provider. This may affect coverage for professional services.
