We understand how complex and confusing Medicare can be. With many different types of Medicare insurance available from Medicare Advantage to Medicare Supplement and Medicare Prescription Drug plans, it can be overwhelming. That’s why we have established a toll-free Medicare Insurance Helpline for Medicare patients.

Our goal is to help you search for the Medicare insurance that meets your personal needs and preferences while supporting continued access to your trusted health care team. You will be connected with a licensed agent who will not only educate you on your Medicare options, but will help you enroll in a health plan accepted by Prevea Health and HSHS-Eastern Wisconsin Division Hospitals.
 
Whether you are just turning 65 or are a long-time Medicare patient, this helpline will assist in answering your questions so you can make informed decisions about your Medicare insurance options.

While you are a Medicare hospital patient, you have the right to receive all the hospital care necessary for the proper diagnosis and treatment of your illness or injury. According to federal law, your discharge date must be determined solely by your medical needs.

You have the right to be fully informed about decisions affecting your Medicare coverage, payment for your hospital stay and for any post-hospital services.

You have the right to request a review by a Peer Review Organization (PRO) of any written "Notice of Non-coverage" that you receive from the hospital stating that Medicare will no longer pay for your hospital care. PROs are groups of doctors who are paid by the federal government to review medical necessity appropriateness and quality of the hospital treatment furnished to Medicare patients.

If you think you are being asked to leave the hospital too soon, ask a hospital representative for a written notice of explanation immediately. This notice is called a "Notice of Non-coverage."

HSHS Eastern Wisconsin Division is committed to providing patients information that will assist them in making informed health care decisions and understanding the potential financial obligations related to their care. 

The information provided is a personalized estimate and not a guarantee of final billed charges.

• Final billed charges may vary from hospital estimates for many reasons, among them are additional procedures ordered by the physician, patient’s medical condition, unknown circumstances or complications or final diagnosis. 
• A change in the final billed charges may affect the amount the patient owes. 
• When based on insurance, the patient portion is determined by the customer’s insurance plan as of the date of the estimate. 

Benefits and eligibility are subject to change and are not a guarantee of payment.  For those who do not currently have insurance, the patient portion may be eligible for an uninsured discount.

Understanding the price of medical care can make it easier to plan for health care expenses; however, it can prove to be quite complicated.

HSHS Eastern Wisconsin Division (HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center, HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital and HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital) is trying to make this process easier by providing a tool that helps calculate the cost for many common health care services.

Cost estimates are provided for some of our most common services and procedures and are based on a range of possible charges or an average price, depending on which method will give the most accurate estimate. While we try our best to provide an accurate estimate, the actual charge may vary due to other factors that may arise.

Estimates include services provided by HSHS-Eastern Wisconsin Division hospitals.

Estimates do not include charges from independent physicians who are not employed by HSHS-Eastern Wisconsin Division. Examples of independent physician charges include anesthesia, pathology, radiology and surgeon fees. This means you may be billed for Hospital facility charges and separately billed for charges from other providers.

Price estimates may not reflect actual charges on the final bill. Actual charges will vary based on the patient's medical condition, unknown circumstances or additional treatment recommended by your physician. Patients with insurance should understand their insurance health benefits and out-of-pocket requirements which may affect their personal financial liability for anticipated health care services.

If you have concerns about paying for your services, we encourage you to apply for our financial assistance program by calling 1-800-994-0368.

For insured patients, we furnish average allowable amounts and estimated patient responsibilities based on your type of health insurance.

If you carry dual insurance coverage, there is typically little to no patient out of pocket expense. For additional confirmation, please contact your insurance companies directly.

If at any time in this process you have additional questions or are unable to locate your particular procedure, you are encouraged to contact our financial services team for further assistance at 1-800-994-0368.
