Insurance Coverage

Northern Nevada Medical Center is a preferred provider on the Prominence Health Plan, Anthem® Blue Cross Blue Shield® and State of Nevada PPO plans.

Get Acquainted with Your Insurance Coverage

It's a good idea to take the time to review your insurance coverage before any planned hospital stay. You are responsible for the total charges for the care and treatment you received at Northern Nevada Medical Center. In most cases, the hospital will accept your assignment of insurance benefits and will forward your hospital bill directly to the insurance company.

We will allow 90 days from the date that we bill the insurance company for payment. If you have not received a notice of payment from your insurer within 60 days of receiving a copy of your hospital bill, we recommend that you contact the insurer directly to encourage speedy payment. If the insurance company has not sent payment to the hospital within 90 days, the status of your account will change from "insurance pay" to "patient pay." At that time, you will be expected to make prompt payment.

If you need help in understanding your insurance coverage or the hospital's billing procedures and charges, please call our business services department at 775-356-4030. If a question arises about your insurance coverage, a business services representative will contact you or a member of your family while you are here. Additional information may be needed in order to process your claims.
