Insurance FAQs
Disclaimer: Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s participation in specific insurance plans and networks changes frequently. The list below may not be all-inclusive. Before purchasing an insurance plan, and prior to receiving services at Sheridan Memorial Hospital or its clinics, please inquire directly with your employer or insurance plan.
All services provided are subject to plan benefits, including exclusions, and eligibility at the time of service. To verify benefits, call the number on the back of your insurance card.
Sheridan Memorial Hospital and its clinics accept a wide variety of plans from insurance companies. To verify if your insurance plan is accepted for services across the SMH health system, please review the list below.
If your insurance company is one accepted by SMH, please contact your insurance company to confirm what care is covered by your plan and to gain information about copayments, deductibles and other potential costs.
If your insurance company is not listed among those accepted by SMH, it could mean higher out-of-pocket expenses for your health care. Be sure to contact your insurance company to verify coverage and potential costs to you.
In addition, SMH accepts Medicare, Medicaid and other government payers like Tricare and VA coverage. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, please check with your plan to confirm if your plan is in-network at SMH and its clinics.
Sheridan Memorial Hospital does not accept Limited Benefit Plans, Unilateral Pricing Plans or Health Sharing Plans. While these plans often have lower premiums than other plans, they have more limitations than traditional health insurance.
Individuals with these types of insurance may still receive services from SMH or its clinics, but SMH staff will not obtain prior authorizations for care or bill the insurance company. The patient will be billed in accordance with SMH’s self-pay policies, which includes a prompt pay discount. If the patient chooses to seek reimbursement from the insurance company, they will need to work with the company directly.
What is a Unilateral Pricing Plan?
Unilateral Pricing Plans attempt to dictate to hospitals or doctors how much they should be paid for providing healthcare services to patients even though the plan does not have a contract with the hospital or provider. While some insurance cards for these plans may include language such as “acceptance of this card waives the provider’s right to bill the patient,” cardholders should know SMH nor any of its clinics are bound by these types of statements.
What is a Limited Benefits Plan?
Limited Benefits (sometimes known as practitioner-only or physician-only plans) offer limited coverage and reimbursement for limited services. These plans are not always easy to identify, but they often utilize unilateral pricing practices similar to Unilateral Pricing Plans. Often these types of plans may indicate individuals can go to any hospital or doctor they choose, but that does not mean SMH is in-network for that plan.
What is a Health Sharing Plan?
Health Sharing Plans also offer limited coverage and reimbursement for limited services. They also tend to have lower premiums, but this is not health insurance. Health Sharing Plans are often called cost-sharing plans, health sharing plans or Christian/ministry plans. Often these types of plans may indicate individuals can go to any hospital or doctor they choose, but that does not mean SMH is in-network for that plan.
Insurance plans can be confusing. If you’re unsure what kind of coverage you have, we encourage you to reach out directly to your insurance company by calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card.
If you have additional questions, please reach out to Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s patient financial advocates at 307.675.4620.
