Billing & Insurance

We recognize that navigating the billing process can be daunting for some patients. To ensure transparency and ease, we strive to simplify our billing procedures.

It’s important to understand that your bill from Kyle ER & Hospital may differ from those of other medical facilities or providers. Kyle ER & Hospital is a specialty hospital.

In line with patient protection measures, the Federal No Surprises Act (NSA) was enacted by the federal government. The NSA aims to prevent surprise billing, which occurs when patients receive unexpected bills for services rendered by out-of network healthcare providers or facilities. Under this act, out of-network providers are prohibited from billing patients beyond their yearly in-network deductible and co-insurance.

It’s worth noting that patients may receive bills for the full charges until the insurance payment amount is provided or paid to the facility by the patient. However, this doesn’t apply to amounts paid directly to patients by their insurance providers for services rendered.

The Federal No Surprises Act also established a payment system for emergency services based on local median in network rates, known as QPAs (Qualifying Payment Amounts), replacing the customary usual rates. This system requires insurers and providers to negotiate payment amounts and settle disputes through an independent resolution process. Insurers are now obligated to disclose how they determine the QPA-median in network price and whether they down-code claims for any reason.
