Like any large industry, insurance has developed somewhat of a language of its own. Berger Health System has compiled
a glossary of Common Insurance Terms to help you better understand the
complexities of medical billing and insurance coverage.
We realize that medical billing is very complicated. Berger Health System has put together a list of
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to help you avoid any unpleasant billing surprises
following your treatment.
If you have questions that are not answered in the list of Frequently Asked Questions, please contact your insurer.
Financial Services Representatives are also on hand to help you Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at
(740) 420-8020 or e-mail us at pfssupport@bergerhealth.com.
The patient is ultimately responsible for his/her hospital bill. We encourage you to confirm that your insurance
covers Berger Health System services ahead of time by calling the phone number listed on your insurance card.
Making quality health care accessible to everyone is part of Berger Health Systems ongoing commitment to our community.
The Patient Financial Assistance Program is one of many ways Berger Health System helps patients fulfill their financial
obligations for their health-care services. Berger Health System is proud to offer several programs to patients in need
of financial assistance.
There are several Medicaid programs available to Ohio residents. The Financial Services Representatives at Berger Health
System can assist you with the application and eligibility process for the Healthy Start and Healthy Families programs,
Medicaid for the aged, blind, and disabled, and Alien Emergency Medical Assistance. If you are found eligible for one of
these programs, you may be covered for hospital care, physician services, prescriptions, mental health services, and vision
and dental services.

The Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP) is available to Ohio Residents who are not currently eligible for Medicaid and
whose total gross family income is at or below the federal poverty guidelines. If you qualify for the HCAP program, you
