Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Programs

PPO insurance programs are specially designed to offer members the flexibility to choose their own physicians and facilities to provide their healthcare services. Most programs offer two levels of benefits, commonly referred to as in-network and out-of-network. Heartland Spine & Specialty Hospital is a contracted in-network provider for several health networks, and works with many others on an out-of-network basis for their members. Prior to your treatment or testing at HSSH our business office will contact you and your insurer to confirm the benefits available to you, and explain them in detail.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) Programs

HMO/EPO insurance programs are designed to improve financial benefits by restricting the number of physicians and facilities available to members. Heartland Spine & Specialty Hospital is a contracted in-network provider for some HMO/EPO programs. Frequently, these programs do not offer any benefits for services provided outside the contracted network.

If HSSH is not a provider for your program, our business office will present financial options to allow you or your dependents to access the advanced medical technologies available at the hospital, after contacting your insurer to determine the benefits available to you at HSSH.

Medicare and Medicaid Programs

Heartland Spine & Specialty Hospital is a fully participating Medicare Provider; that means that Medicare Part A and Part B coverage for inpatient and outpatient services apply at HSSH. The deductible and co-payment amounts will be determined in the same manner as any other hospital participating in the Medicare program. If you have purchased supplemental or secondary insurance coverage it is important to talk with any facility about that coverage prior to receiving services. HSSH is also a participating provider in the Medicaid programs for both Kansas and Missouri. Our staff will be delighted to talk with you to answer any questions about your particular situation and ensure that you understand your benefits as they apply to hospital services.
