Marias Medical Center has the philosophy of working for you in times of health care needs and with you when payment is due.  Medical bills are not usually expected and come during times of sudden illness.  It is important to communicate early with the hospital to ensure receipt of insurance information and payment arrangement options.  Marias Medical offers to help with insurance, payment arrangements and now electronic transfers and credit card payments.  Through the assistance of Wells Fargo Bank (formally Norwest Bank), Marias Medical Center can process direct transfers on a monthly  basis.  This could be through your checking, savings, credit or debit card accounts from banks that are not  Wells Fargo Banks, as well as making payment via credit and debit cards. This convenience is due to two programs: IC Verify allows credit and debit card transactions to be handled quickly and  Wells Fargo ACH allows the setup of automatic monthly payments that can consistently be made on specific days of the month.  These are easily arranged through the business office (please contact Debbie  at 406-434-3245).

HILL-BURTON

    The question often comes up regarding cash settlements and receiving discounts.  No cash discounts can be given unless the benefit will be extended to all patients.  This is the requirement of Medicare rules and regulations.  However, Marias Medical Center has an application process that will allow the write-off of a portion of 100% of the bill for qualified applicants.  This process is through that use of Hill-Burton legislation, which allowed funding of small rural hospitals such as ours, to construct medical facilities.  In return for the grant, the facility makes available to those who qualify, discounted or free medical services.  This allow people who cannot afford hospital care the opportunity to receive care without the financial burden.  If you have any questions regarding your account please contact Debbie at 434-3245.  If you have questions regarding Marias Healthcare please call 434-3100.
