Billing, Insurance & Financial Assistance Information

Will Billings Clinic bill my insurance for me?

  • If you are insured and Billings Clinic accepts your current insurance we will bill your insurance. Find out if Billings Clinic participates with your current insurance plan.
  • We allow 30 days from billing for your insurance company to make payment. If your account is not paid in that time, we will ask you for assistance to obtain payments from your insurance company.
  • You are responsible for charges not covered by your insurance. Your insurance can provide you with more information regarding your benefits.
  • To conserve paper and resources, itemized hospital bills are not automatically mailed to all patients. You may request an itemized copy of your hospital bill by calling 406-238-2250 or 1-800-332-7156 ext. 2250.
