Financial Services

Please be advised that you can receive several bills in conjunction with your visit at Carson Tahoe.

Physicians are NOT employees of the hospital and deliver independent services, including but not limited to: emergency or urgent care, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology, radiology, anesthesiology and surgery.

• Carson Tahoe Emergency Physician Billing group can be reached at 833-364-8432
• Tahoe Carson Radiologist Billing group can be reached at 775-283-3315

Since every insurance plan is different, it is very important to check your coverage and ask questions. You can contact your insurance plan directly or contact your employer for more information. Please contact their private offices with questions about their bills.

Billed charges for services received at Carson Tahoe Health will be discounted 30%.

Carson Tahoe Health is committed to treating all patients equitably, with dignity, respect and compassion regardless of their financial status or ability to pay. In support of this commitment, Carson Tahoe Health has established a Financial Assistance Program which offers both free and discounted care, depending on individuals’ family size and income.

Eligibility Criteria

1. Care being discounted must be medically necessary or emergent.
2. Patients must provide support of financial need based upon current federal poverty guidelines.
3. Patients must attest that they do not qualify for government assistance programs and/or third party payment programs, health savings or medical savings accounts that would cover their share of cost.
4. Patients must be at or below 400 percent of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines

Limitations on Charges

Once you are approved for financial assistance, your billed charges will be reduced to the average generally billed amount paid for insured patients provided emergency or medically necessary care. Your final discount is then based upon eligibility in accordance to current federal poverty guidelines.
