Insurance & Billing

Billing and Insurance Information

What to expect following your experience at Methodist

Upon being admitted or receiving services, the patient or patient´s legal representative can accrue billing from the Hospital, the patient´s physicians, and affiliated physician groups that may provide facility–based services to the patient. These affiliated groups of facility–based physicians include Methodist Pathology Associates for lab services, Houston Radiology Associated for diagnostics (e.g., x–rays), Neptune Emergency Services for Emergency Department services, Mastos for Breast Center services, and Greater Houston Anesthesiology for anesthesiologists.

Attached is a listing of Methodist Willowbrook Hospital´s in–network payers. Based upon the insurance information you provided, if your plan is listed, Methodist Willowbrook Hospital is a participating provider for your health plan. Please note the following:

• Our affiliates and other facility–based physicians bill and collect independently for their services, and they may not participate in the same insurance plans as Methodist Willowbrook Hospital.
• You may receive a bill from a facility–based physician for the amount unpaid by your insurance plan.
• You may request a full list of facility–based physicians who have been granted Medical Staff privileges.
• You may also request information from facility–based physicians on whether or not they have an agreement with your insurance plan(s) and under what circumstances you may be billed for amounts not paid by your insurance plan(s).
