BILLING
You may receive more than one bill for services provided at Texas
Children's Hospital and Texas Children's Health Centers. These may
include bills for hospital-related expenses, physician services and
specialist services.
- Hospital services
Texas Children's Hospital will bill for hospital-related
expenses incurred during your child's appointment or hospital
stay, including facility, equipment, tests, supplies and
medications.
- Physician services
Texas Children’s Physician Services Organization (TCPSO)
will bill for services provided by physicians.
- Specialist services
If your child’s physician has requested services or lab work from other
specialists, you may also receive bills from other laboratories
or specially trained physicians such as radiologists,
pathologists and anesthesiologists.
- Outpatient services
The Clinical Care Center and Health Centers are considered
outpatient facilities of Texas Children’s Hospital. Therefore,
any services provided during your child’s visit are considered
outpatient hospital services and subject to your plan's
deductible or coinsurance, if applicable.
Your Texas Children's Hospital bill will list the
services and supplies ordered for your child by the doctor. Texas
Children's will submit a claim to your insurance plan on your
behalf. If there is a balance due after insurance, you will receive
a bill for the remaining balance.
If you do not have insurance, you will
receive a statement approximately 10 days after your child’s discharge
date or date of service. The statement will include all charges made
before the mailing date.
Sometimes, adjustments are made to the
account after the mailing date. If this happens, we
will mail a revised statement. If you have any questions or concerns
about your bill, please call 832-824-2300 or 1-800-722-2570 between
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday.
