What will my financial responsibility be for the healthcare services I need?
If you are insured and your doctor has ordered specific covered services,
the Business Office can provide you with an estimate of your financial
responsibility based on your specific health benefit plan.
Please note: If you are enrolled with a managed care health plan, please make sure
that the Jupiter Medical Center Facility of your choice is a participating
provider of your health plan.

procedure code and can be obtained from your physician. This code will
help determine the procedure to be performed and the estimated financial
responsibility.

To help expedite your estimated financial responsibility calculation, please
be able to provide the Business Office your benefits such as your current
deductible, current co-payment and or co-insurance amounts. During your
call they may need to contact your health plan to verify your eligibility
and benefits in order to provide you with the most accurate estimate of
financial responsibility.
Once the Business Office has the necessary information, you will be provided
with an estimated amount based on the information provided by you and
/ or your health plan. This estimate is not a guarantee since the services
may vary from the services you receive due to treatment decisions and
/ or unforeseen circumstances or additional test / services ordered by
your physician and variation in the clinical needs of each patient.
For all scheduled services, you will be expected to pay your estimated
co-payment, co-insurance and / or deductible upon arrival at the Jupiter
Medical Center facility of choice. Any variations in your estimated co-payment,
co-insurance and / or deductible will be handled after your health plan pays us.
