Billing

Our billing team at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital is happy to bill your insurance company as a courtesy to you. In most cases, your bill will be submitted to your carrier within 10 days of your visit. The majority of our claims are billed electronically to ensure accuracy and confidentiality. After your claim is paid by your carrier, you will be sent a monthly statement reflecting any balance due by you. You will be asked for a deposit during the registration process.

Because we want to give you a price estimation on procedures done at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital, our Patient Access management team is happy to speak with you and help you understand any pricing questions you may have. Keep in mind that this is an estimation only and the actual price may be different based on additional procedures and/or recovery time. Please call 760-499-3578, 760-499-3751, or 760-499-3750.
