Insurance Requirements

Most insurance plans include requirements, which must be followed unless you are seeking treatment for a life-threatening condition. At Newman Regional Health, you are responsible for meeting these special requirements, such as precertification approval before incurring diagnostic imaging services such as CT’s or MRI’s, going to the emergency room, or providing notice of being hospitalized.

You are responsible for calling your physician for approval if you have insurance that requires you to contact your primary care physician prior to going to the emergency room.

Insurance Filing

Newman Regional Health will file your insurance claims for you.

Because of special requirements by insurance companies and frequent changes in the requirements, we must have a copy of your insurance card.

When Newman Regional Health files your insurance claims, we ask your insurance company to send payment directly to us. We allow your insurance company time to process and pay your bill. However, if a timely payment has not been received, you will be billed for the unpaid balance.

Contact our Patient Accounts and Billing Specialists at (620) 343-6800, ext. 1153 if you have any questions.

Worker’s Compensation Injuries

Reports of injuries occurring on the job or as the result of occupational circumstances are to be filed with the employer’s worker’s compensation carrier. If you incur a work-related injury, you are required to provide Newman Regional Health with the name, address, and contact person of your employer and to also report the accident to your employer. Failure to do so will result in a loss of personal benefits.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

If you sustain an injury associated with a motor vehicle, you must provide Newman Regional Health with the name of the motor vehicle insurance carrier.

Kansas law requires that reports of all injuries that occur as a result of ownership, operation, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle be filed with a motor vehicle insurance company. Any claim for an injury arising from contact with a motor vehicle, even if the vehicle is not moving, must first be filed with the motor vehicle insurance company.

Property Insurance

If you have tests performed or receive medical services as a result of an accident occurring on property owned by someone else, Newman Regional Health must obtain information about the accident.

Medicare and Kansas Medicaid require us to attempt collecting payment from the property owner. Your refusal to provide this information may result in lost Medicare or Medicaid benefits if they deny payment of the claim.
