Insurance Benefits
Sierra Tucson will assist in billing your insurance by providing a completed claim and itemization of charges. We will also work with your carrier and provide updates throughout treatment regarding your medical care. Insurance policies and benefits vary greatly; our staff can help obtain a quote of coverage under your policy. This data provides a list of benefits allowable according to the definitions of the contract as provided by your insurance carrier. Your employer and insurance agent can also be helpful in answering questions about your available benefits.
The insurance carrier or managed care company determines appropriateness of care based on your presenting problem(s). They have established guidelines for medical necessity and may certify a portion of your stay up front. Rarely does a plan approve an entire treatment stay. Sierra Tucson will work with your insurance company to provide the requested clinical information. However, Sierra Tucson has no control over the outcome of these reviews. Importantly, these reviews do not guarantee payment by your insurance carrier upon final billing.

Payment Responsibility
Please be aware that Sierra Tucson cannot hold your insurance company
responsible for payment of fees. An insurance policy is a contract
between you and the insurance company. Sierra Tucson contracts with
you upon admission when you sign the "Conditions of Admission,"
which obligates you to pay for services rendered. If your insurance
does not cover all of your treatment costs or if you are self-paying
for treatment, please bring the agreed-upon payment with you. Incomplete
or delayed financial arrangements can postpone actual admission.
To avoid any delay in your admission to Sierra Tucson, our review
of insurance or other payment arrangements is necessary. In-house
financing options are available upon approval. A Sierra Tucson financial
counselor will work with you to make suitable arrangements to meet
your financial obligations.
Before coming to Sierra Tucson, obtain a copy of your policy booklet that contains all of your health coverage information. Bring this document with you, as it is extremely helpful in resolving problems that may arise with your insurance. Please also bring your insurance identification card, a claim form, and your driver's license.
