About Your Bill and Insurance Coverage
To continue providing services, our hospitals must receive compensation for those services. An inpatient hospital bill includes charges for your room, linen services, nursing care and meals as well as certain other goods and services ordered by your physician.
When a patient is discharged, the hospital submits the bill to the patient’s
insurance company. If a patient does not have insurance, the bill becomes
that patient’s responsibility. Additional payment options may be
available if you meet program criteria or guidelines for financial assistance.
Hospital services not covered by your insurance are billed to the patient.
For questions about a hospital bill or financial assistance, call the Patient
Accounting department,
724-689-1850 or
1-866-890-1412
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Communication (telephone, etc.) fees are not covered by any insurance.
A separate bill is sent from a patient’s physician, lab or other health care provider who performs services during a hospital stay. Independent physician services that bill separately include radiology, emergency room, pathology, urology and others. Arrangements for these and other services not provided directly by the hospital are the patient’s responsibility.

Continuous Coverage for Medicaid Ending March 31, 2023
In March 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) temporarily waived certain Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) requirements and conditions in response to COVID-19. The easing of these rules helped people with Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) and CHIP—in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories—keep their health coverage during the pandemic.
A new law ends Medicaid continuous coverage on March 31, 2023 and requires states to restart eligibility renewals beginning April 1, 2023.
