Financial Screening
Once you have received the recommended plan of care and associated Medical Services Cost Estimate, the Social Work & Community Services Department will work closely with you to:
- Verify your insurance coverage and identify any restrictions, limitations, or co-payments required, or;
- Obtain the appropriate Letter of Guarantee from your sponsor;
- Review the costs identified with the proposed treatment plan.
The Letter of Guarantee or proof of insurance coverage must be provided to the Social Work & Community Services Department at least 5 days in advance of your child’s first visit.
If you do not have insurance coverage or sponsorship that can be verified, you will be required to pay the Medical Services Cost Estimate in advance of your child’s first appointment. The full payment is required 5 days in advance of your child’s first visit. If you are unable to pay the full payment amount 5 days in advance of your child’s first visit, any scheduled appointments may be postponed or cancelled.
All payments are expected to be made in U.S. dollars. Children’s Mercy Hospital accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Personal and cashiers checks are also acceptable when written on a U.S. Bank. No checks written on banks outside the U.S. will be accepted without prior approval.
To further facilitate the financial process, CMH accepts United States bank checks, wire transfers, cash and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). Wiring instructions can be found in the printed materials.
