Your time and convenience are important to us so we have compiled a list of things that will help you with the registration and billing process:

Registration

  • Please bring a Copy of your Insurance Card
  • Social Security # – Driver’s License – Emergency contact information
  • Insurance Co-Pays are due at time of Service
  • Deductible is due at the time of service if applicable
  • Registration Form – The Registration staff will help you complete a registration form. You will be asked to review this information each time you register as people move, get married, change employers- life happens and things change
  • Consent Form – this consents to your treatment and also authorizes the hospital to release medical information regarding your hospitalization to the insurance carrier listed on your account. Additional consent forms may be needed if you are having surgery or another special procedure.
  • Identification bracelet – at the time of registration an ID bracelet will be placed on your wrist. This is for your safety and clearly identifies you throughout your stay. Please do not remove it until you have left the hospital.

  • SMC is a smoke free campus – including e-cigarettes. If you smoke, let your doctor know and a nicotine patch can be provided for you

Billing

Coronavirus 19 Testing $85.00

SMC has a very experienced staff in the billing office. They understand and can explain insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and the billing process. We also have a person whose sole job is to assist you with the new insurance exchanges and with the county financial assistance program.


This shoppable and all services price list is based on information we have gathered from our claims and insurance payment files. This is not a guarantee of what you will be charged. Your actual charges may differ from the estimated charges for many reasons, including the seriousness of your medical condition, actual time the procedure takes and the services and supplies that you receive. If you have insurance, your benefits will ultimately determine the amount you owe (including deductibles, co-pay, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket maximums).

The shoppable or all services price list was developed to help you determine the potential cost for services only.
If you proceed with services at Shoshone Medical Center, you may be given a new estimate with more accurate cost and out-of-pocket information. Please contact our Financial Counselor at 208-784-1221 ext. 335 for more information. It is helpful for you to know the description of the service you are requesting a price estimate for, so that you may give it to our Financial Counselor to assist them in acquiring the cost estimate.

Shoshone Medical Center shall not be liable for any difference between charges listed in the price lists and the final bill for services. You may be eligible for financial assistance under Shoshone Medical Center financial assistance policy. Financial hardship is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Please note: these lists do not include any additional charges such as physician fees, radiologist, anesthesiologist, laboratory fees, and other non-facility charges. Shoshone medical Center is not able to estimate costs for these additional, external services. Your service’s actual billed charges will vary based on individual diagnosis, time of stay complications, prescriptions, etc. Total outpatient cost is determined by your individual insurance coverage.
