Patient Financial Services

Patient Finance

At Wyoming Medical Center, we take our role as a community hospital very seriously. Our doors remain open to anyone who needs emergent medical care, regardless of his or her ability to pay.

When you visit Wyoming Medical Center, a Patient Access Specialist will assist you with filling out paperwork that will allow us to treat you and work with your insurance company. For your protection and safety, you will be asked to provide your photo ID and Insurance card each time you visit us for your healthcare needs. These initial steps will help to ensure we have your most current information. When you are scheduled with WMC for a test or procedure, we will provide you an estimate of expected charges and we will determine your portion of responsibility for that estimated cost. This could include deductibles, co-insurance, and/or copay amounts. Your portion of responsibility will be collected at the time you register for service. We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, cash, check and money orders. If you are unable to pay the requested amount, other options will be outlined for you by a Patient Access Specialist.

We will only be collecting the patient responsibility portion on hospital applicable fees/charges and we ask that you please remember treatment at our hospital can result in several bills depending on the services provided. For example, if your physician orders blood tests for you, you may receive a laboratory bill in addition to your WMC billing statement. If your physician orders X-rays for you, you may receive a bill from the Radiologist for their reading fee. In any case, we provide all appropriate members of your healthcare team with your insurance and billing information. However, these parties have payment policies and billing procedures of their own and you should contact them with any inquiries regarding their billing statements.

Discharge Desk
If you come to WMC for emergency care, one of our representatives will collect your insurance and billing information after treatment. Once your treatment is complete, a member of the Emergency Room staff will then direct you to the discharge desk. The representative will explain our collecting and billing process and ask you for a minimum payment toward estimated charges based on your financial responsibility. We accept all forms of payment including Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover as well as cash and checks.

Regardless of your ability to make a payment, your representative will outline long-term payment options and possibly discuss your eligibility and the application process for our charity care assistance program.
