“Hospital-Based” Outpatient Services Billing Information & Frequently Asked Questions

The Colorectal Surgery Institute is part of Glendale Memorial Hospital and as such operates as a fully licensed Outpatient Department of the Hospital. This means that the Colorectal Surgery Institute provides what is called “hospital-based” outpatient services to its patients. Below we will explain how “hospital- based” outpatient services work for you.

DO “HOSPITAL-BASED” OUTPATIENT CENTERS BENEFIT YOU Because we are a “Hospital-Based” Outpatient Center, all of the extensive federal and state licensing requirements and quality standards that apply to Glendale Memorial Hospital in general also apply to the Colorectal Surgery Institute. In addition, you continue to benefit from the same physician expertise and caring staff to take care of your health care needs.

DO “HOSPITAL-BASED” OUTPATIENT SERVICES COST MORE Depending on your health insurance coverage, you may pay more for some outpatient services and procedures. We recommend that you review your insurance benefits or talk with your insurance carrier about your policy to determine what out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.

HOW YOU WILL BE BILLED When you receive services at the Colorectal Surgery Institute, you will receive two bills: • You will receive a bill for professional services from your treating physician. • You will receive a bill from Glendale Memorial Hospital for the facility and technical services of the hospital staff in connection with your visit. This is because the Colorectal Surgery Institute clinic space, equipment and staff are funded by the hospital.

WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE Co-insurance/co-payments and/or deductibles not covered by your health plan will continue to be your responsibility. Because you will receive separate billing from your treating physician and Glendale Memorial Hospital, you will have a separate co-insurance/co-payment obligation for each. This may also apply to HMO plans. Please verify your “Hospital Outpatient” Benefits.

WILL THIS AFFECT MEDICARE PATIENTS If you are a Medicare recipient, you will be responsible for two co-payments; one for the physician services (part A), and one from Glendale Memorial Hospital for facility and procedural services (part B).

For patients with Medicare supplemental insurance coverage, some or all of your co-insurance obligations may be covered by such insurance.

CALL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE Please do not hesitate to call the Colorectal Surgery Institute at 818-244-8161 to answer your questions. We’re here to help you.
