Insurance and Payment Information
As a courtesy to our patients, McAlester Regional Health Center will file a claim directly with the insurance company. After the Claim has been filed, Patient Financial Services (PFS) will follow- up with the claim’s payment status. We will do everything possible to expedite a claim, however, you should remember that your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company, and you have the final responsibility for your hospital bill payment. We encourage you to contact PFS at 918.421.8022 if you have any questions or concerns regarding the insurance payments or the statements received in the mail.
Notice of Uninsured/Underinsured Patient Discount Policy
McAlester Regional Health Center understands that not everyone has adequate health insurance, and many don’t have health insurance at all. That’s why we’ve made it our policy to provide uncompensated, discounted, or financial assistance program services for individuals who have demonstrated a need in excess of insurance or personal resources of funds available through federal, state, and local funding programs.

For example, you could receive a bill from a consulting physician, radiologist or other specialist. If you have any questions concerning their bills, please contact their offices directly.
