IS MY INSURANCE ACCEPTED AT POMERENE?
Today, you have more choices than ever for your healthcare. Pomerene Hospital recognizes the significant decision families make when they select their healthcare insurance during their open enrollment time. The decision on which insurance company or plan is often difficult or confusing, therefore we want to share a few helpful tips to consider when choosing your healthcare plan:
- If you want your insurance to cover your Pomerene Hospital physician and Pomerene services, make sure they participate in the plan you choose.
- Understand your monthly premium. This is your monthly cost of ownership which is not covered by your insurance company.
- Understand which services are covered under your selected plan.
- Know up front of any out-of-pocket costs. These are costs associated with care received or services used which may require additional out-of-pocket costs such as co-pays, coinsurance and deductibles.

Chargemaster FAQ
Chargemaster is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service item provided by a hospital. It includes every test, exams, surgical procedure, room charge, supply, etc. Given the many services provided by hospitals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a chargemaster contains thousands of services and related charges.
- Chargemaster amounts are almost never billed to a patient or received as payment by a hospital. The chargemaster amounts are billed to an insurance company, Medicare, or Medicaid and those insurers then apply their contracted rates to the services that are billed.
- Patients that do not have insurance, Pomerene Hospital has a financial assistance policy that applies discounts to the amounts charged. For more information on the Financial Assistance Policy, please contact our Financial Counselor at (330) 674-1584 ext. 1163.
