Medical insurance and billing can easily become overwhelming, especially during an emergency. At Village Emergency Centers, our compassion does not only extend to your health care but also your wallet.

We offer discounted cash rates for all our Medicare and Medicaid patients.
We offer very reasonable low-cost self-pay options which are significantly less than hospital ER bills.
Federal Law, The Affordable Care Act, requires health insurers to reimburse all emergency medical facilities and providers on an in-network basis (i.e., use in-network deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance rates) for all emergency medical services.
Your ER copay.
An EOB (explanation of benefits) is the letter you will receive in the mail a couple of weeks after your ER visit. IT IS NOT A BILL—it’s simply an explanation of what your insurance covered for your visit. The EOB does not necessarily reflect what you will be billed. If you have any concerns or questions, please call our billing department at 713-526-2320.
