Understanding Your Bill
Your bill from MUSC will represent hospital or facilities charges only. Your bill may include charges for the facility, supplies, medicine, nursing care, x-rays, lab work and therapies. Your MUSC bill will not include the charges for physicians that you saw during your visit. You will receive a separate bill from MUSC Physicians (formerly UMA) for the physicians' fees.
Many insurance plans pay for health care services provided in an outpatient hospital clinic differently than those provided in a doctor’s office. Your insurance plan may require you to meet your annual deductible before it pays for healthcare services you receive in an outpatient hospital clinic. Your insurance company may also require you to pay a percentage of the bill, called a co-insurance, rather than just an office co-payment.
If you have questions about how your insurance will cover outpatient hospital clinic visits and how much you will have to pay, please call your insurance directly.
