Billing

Merrick Medical center is a nonprofit organization that depends on prompt payment for services to continue our high level of patient care.

You can expect to receive a bill from Merrick Medical Center for your hospital stay. You also will receive separate bills from your doctor and other consultants involved in your care (such as radiologists, anesthesiologists, etc.).

You will receive monthly statements for services that are not paid for by your insurance company. You may request an itemization of all charges. For more information or questions, please call 1-877-577-9277.

When you receive your monthly statement for services, please pay your balance promptly or call to set up a payment plan. We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We also have options including short-term and interest-free payment plans, long-term and low-interest payment plans, and charity care.

To set up a payment plan or make a credit card payment, please call 1-877-577-9277. We also offer online bill pay.
