Billing questions

All bills may not look exactly the same, but most bills from Northwell providers and facilities will include the following information:

Statement date: The date the bill was printed by the provider or facility.

Account or invoice number: This is your unique account or invoice number. You will need this number to pay a bill online and it’s helpful to have if you call with any questions about your bill.

Service date(s): This is the date or dates you received a medical service or procedure.

Charges: This is the total amount charged by the provider or facility for your care. This does not include any insurance payments, if applicable, or any additional payments received.

Payments/adjustments, etc.: If you have insurance, and the bill is for services covered under your insurance plan, you may see payments made by the insurance company for these medical services. If you made a payment (including a copay) at the time of service, that payment may also be shown here.

Balance/amount due: This is your patient responsibility, or the balance you owe for the services provided.
