Each patient at Merle West Medical Center is expected to assume responsibility for payment of all charges related to their hospital stay or services received.
Payment is due in full at the time of first billing.
We accept insurance and other third-party payers in lieu of payment at this time, if you provide proof of coverage like an insurance card or fully completed claim form. Medicare requires patients to pay a deductible amount. We also have a financial counselor available to talk with you about financial concerns regarding your hospital account. The financial counselor can also explain Merle West Medical Center payment options.
