Fees billed to you
Your bill from Northfield Hospital includes charges for:
- the use of the facility
- the services of the Hospital’s patient care staff
- the supplies that were used in your care
Charges for professional services provided to you by a provider at Northfield Hospital will be sent separately from the Hospital’s bill. That bill may include charges for services of a pathologist, an anesthesiologist, a surgeon, a cardiologist, a radiologist and/or other providers.
Please note that any bill that is sent to you from a provider’s office is separate from the bill you receive from Northfield Hospital and you should contact that office directly with any questions you may have about that bill.
