Important Information about paying for your care at Long Island Community Hospital
Long Island Community Hospital (“Hospital”) is a participating provider in many health plan networks. You can find a list of plans in which we participate here. Some health plans use smaller networks for certain products they offer so it is important to check whether we participate in the specific plan you are covered by.
It is also important for you to know that the physician services you receive in the Hospital are not included in the Hospital’s charges. Physicians who provide services at the Hospital may be independent voluntary physicians or they may be employed by the Hospital. Physicians bill for their services separately and may or may not participate in the same health plans as the Hospital. You should check with the physician arranging your hospital services to determine which plans that physician participates in prior to receiving any services. You should also check with the physician arranging your hospital services to determine whether the services of any other physicians will be required for your care. Your physician can provide you with the name, practice name, mailing address and telephone of any physicians whose services may be needed. Your physician will also be able to tell you whether the services of any physicians employed by or contracted with the Hospital are likely needed, such as anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists.
Contact information for the physicians and groups the Hospital has contracted with is available here. You should contact these groups directly to find out which health plans they participate in. Click here to view the health plans accepted by Long Island Community Hospital employed physicians.
