Overview

Mission

Provider-based billing is commonly used by healthcare systems across the U.S. It benefits patients by ensuring participating hospital facilities meet higher quality standards and provide additional resources to support patients and their families. Are All Patients Billed Using Provider-Based Billing? The requirement to itemize professional services and facility charges separately applies exclusively to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Only patients with Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid HMO plans receive bills showing separate professional and facility charges. For all other insurance health plans and networks, charges are combined and billed as a single amount.

What it reported doing in 2024

On a daily basis, mcleod health system coordinates the delivery of quality acute care services to the residents of the eastern region of South Carolina and the extreme southeastern region of North Carolina, regardless of the patients' ability to pay.
