Advantage Plans. Patients using Health Alliance or Humana Medicare Advantage Plans are
eligible for all services we provide, since we are contracted with these

According to the Illinois Insurance Code, “When a person presents
a benefits information card, a healthcare provider shall make a good faith
effort to inform the person if the health care provider has a participation
contract with the insurer, health maintenance organization, or other entity
identified on the card.” Under the Fair Patient Billing Act, Horizon Health must provide written
notice that:
- As a patient, you may receive separate bills for services provided by healthcare
professionals affiliated with Horizon Health. Ask about insurance coverage
for visiting specialists. Not all visiting providers follow the above
insurance list or are eligible for financial assistance/uninsured discounts.
-
Horizon Health will submit charges to all commercial carriers on your behalf.
If your plan is not listed, we may be
out-of-network, resulting in a higher out-of-pocket expense for you as determined by
your insurance carrier. Furthermore,
even if your insurance plan is listed, that is not a guarantee of in-network service.
-
It is your responsibility to verify your insurance coverage before your visit. When verifying coverage be sure to ask your insurance carrier if your
clinic provider and Paris Community Hospital are
IN-NETWORK. If not, it may result in a greater financial responsibility to you. This
applies to commercial plans only.
-
You are
STRONGLY encouraged to obtain information on out-of-pocket expenses by calling
your health plan using the toll-free telephone number on your insurance
identification card.
- Contact the Financial Assistance Coordinator to determine eligibility for
the Illinois Uninsured Discount or our Financial Assistance program.
