Billing and Commercial Insurance Information

West Georgia Health System accepts all indemnity commercial insurance plans.  As a courtesy, West Georgia Health System will bill your insurance company for you.  Any charges not paid by your medical insurance are due at the time of discharge.  Examples of these charges might include insurance deductibles, co-payments, the difference between a private and semi-private room or lab fees.  You will receive notification that your insurance has been billed.  After your insurance company has processed the payment, we will send you a bill showing the balance due.  In addition to your hospital bill, you may receive separate bills from your attending physician, radiologists, pathologists, anesthesiologists, or any members of the medical staff who have provided you with special services.  These charges are not handled by the hospital.  Questions related to these charges should be referred to the physician or outside service organization.
