Bills and Payments
Will I receive an itemized bill?
Itemized bills are not routinely sent. However, you may request one at any time by calling our Patient Financial Services Department at 818.902.2913, Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. One will be mailed to you within two-three days of your request.
What do I need to pay when I arrive?
Valley Presbyterian Hospital's policy is to collect all co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance amounts, private room charges or any other non-covered amounts, at time of service. Please be prepared to pay these amounts when you arrive. If, after your insurance pays your bill, there is a refund due to you, we will refund the amount due. Under certain circumstances, you will be required to pay a deposit based on an estimate of your charges. The hospital accepts cash, checks, or credit cards as forms of payment.
What if I can't afford to pay?
At Valley Presbyterian Hospital, we are proud of our mission to provide quality care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. If you feel that you are unable to pay for your medical care, you may be eligible for Charity Care or our Financial Assistance Program. This program provides free or discounted services to eligible patients. Also, our financial counselors can assist you in applying for many government programs. Please call 818.902.5174 to speak with a financial counselor.
