I received a bill for my physical from my primary care physician. Why did I have additional charges?

If you and your primary care provider discussed anything outside of wellness services at your annual appointment, you may be responsible for a copayment. Any additional charges will depend on your insurance plan coverage.

I already paid my hospital bill. Why did I receive a second bill?

Other medical specialists, such as radiologists or an emergency room physician, may have also provided services to you during your hospital stay. If this is the case, you will be billed separately for these services.

What can I do if I have billing questions?

Please call the phone number on your statement or reach out to the business office at the Avera hospital or clinic where you received services. You may also call 888-370-6525 for financial assistance.
