Patient Billing

Your daily room rate includes many items such as meals and maintenance of the room. However, charges for nursing care and special services ordered by your physician, such as x-rays, laboratory tests, the provision of blood products, medications, operating room and anesthesia charges are listed separately.

How Much Will Anticipated Hospital Services Cost?

Prospective Tomball Regional Medical Center patients are welcome to request a cost estimate for any hospital procedure. Estimates are based on hospital charges for anticipated routine care and recovery, taking into consideration insurance coverage, co-payments, deductibles, coinsurance and other information that may affect personal out-of-pocket costs.

Actual charges on the final hospital bill may vary from the estimate, based on the patient’s medical condition, unknown circumstances or complications, final diagnosis, and recommended treatment ordered by the attending physician(s). Insured patients should contact their insurance carrier for the most accurate information regarding plan structure, deductibles, co-payments and any other factors that might affect personal liability for anticipated health care services.

Estimates provided by Tomball Regional Medical Center only covers hospital charges, and does not include professional fees for services such as those provided by a physician, surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, anesthesiologist, nurse practitioner or any other independent practitioner. Even though physicians and other independent practitioners are members of TRMC’s medical staff, they are neither employees nor agents of the hospital. All professional fees are billed separately.

Physicians or other practitioners who provide professional services may not participate in an individual patient’s health benefit plan. Patients should contact their insurance carrier to determine the contract status of hospital-based providers such as pathologists, radiologists or anesthesiologists.

Discount Pricing to Uninsured “Prompt Pay” Patients

Tomball Regional Medical Center (TRMC) provides discounted pricing to uninsured patients who do not qualify for charity assistance. An application is not required, and the discount is automatically applied to all accounts designated as “self-pay”. Payment is due on date of service. If payment is not received within the negotiated time period, all discounts are reversed, and original billed charges will apply.

Only patients without medical insurance qualify for the uninsured discount. Whenever possible, financial counseling and discounted pricing will be discussed with patients prior to admission or before discharge from the hospital. TRMC’s uninsured discount applies only to hospital charges. Charges for physician professional services provided during a patient's hospitalization, or charges by other providers for non-hospital services, are not covered by the TRMC discount pricing policy.
