Patient Information
Billing and Insurance
Copayments
The US Department of Veteran Affairs has established
guidelines
for veterans and their copayments. Copayments may be charged for the
following services:
Any copayments due should be paid upon checking out of the medical center. Copayments may be made at the Agent Cashier window, Administration
building, ground floor (room 1010).
Veterans who do not make their copayments upon checking out will
receive a bill at their address of record within 30 days after their
stay or appointment.
If you have any questions about your copay balance, please
contact our Billing Office at (708) 202 - 2145.
Other Health Insurance
The Department of Veteran Affairs now bills private health
insurance companies for care received by their enrollees. You should
bring your insurance card with you for your appointment and present
it during the check-in process.
What's
in it for me?
Medicare/Medicaid
The Department of Veteran Affairs does not bill Medicare or
Medicaid at this time. You may, however, wish to review
information for veterans about the new Medicare prescription drug
benefits.
