Provider-Based Billing
What Is a Provider-Based Facility?
A provider-based facility is a hospital outpatient department of City of Hope National Medical Center, a general acute care hospital in Duarte, California and National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. Patients benefit because we offer additional resources for them and their families, including clinical nutrition, social work, rehabilitation/physical therapy, psychosocial screening and other related services.

How Will My Bill Look for Provider-Based Billing?
Provider-based facility bills may have two components for professional services and hospital/facility services. Your out-of-pocket for copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible will depend on your insurance coverage and benefits plan. As a result, you may incur a liability to City of Hope National Medical Center that you would otherwise not incur if the services were furnished in a free-standing facility that was not hospital-based. City of Hope will send a single patient statement that may contain patient out-of-pocket liability for both hospital and professional charges.
Will I Have to Pay More?
Every patient’s situation is dependent on your insurance coverage and the services you receive.
