We are here for you!
The District is contracted with ERx for our Emergency Department Physician coverage. The Emergency Physicians are private doctors who provide direct treatment, diagnostic services, and/or supervision of care for patients they encounter in the Emergency Department. If you receive a bill from the Emergency Physicians, it will pertain only to these professional services.
If you are sent a bill from the Hospital, it will only pertain to charges incurred for the use of the Emergency Department treatment area, technical and ancillary personnel, supplies, and equipment and it will not include the Emergency Physicians' fee.
If you have a question pertaining to the Emergency Physician's bill, please call 1-866-247-3141.
If you receive any x-rays, CT scan, or ultrasound procedures you will also receive a separate bill from the radiologist for the reading of the x-ray, scan or ultrasound procedure.
