For Patients

Emergency Care: What to Expect

When you arrive at the FJ Borelli Family Emergency Center, you’ll be assessed by the triage nurse who will identify your condition and determine how quickly you should be seen. You may be asked to wait for a brief period before being escorted into the treatment area. At times, people who arrive after you may be seen first if they have more severe injuries or illnesses. Our goal is to provide high-quality, compassionate care as quickly as possible to every patient.

Patient responsibility

Patients are responsible for all hospital fees on the date services are provided. These fees may include deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance. If the exact dollar amount of any service hasn’t been determined, you’ll be asked to pay an estimated amount and will be billed for the balance, if necessary. When you’re discharged, your insurance company will be invoiced for services provided.

Payment in full will be requested for any services that aren’t covered by your insurance. Montefiore Nyack Hospital accepts cash, checks and all major credit cards. We appreciate your cooperation with our payment policies.

Medicaid application assistance

We gladly assist patients and families with Medicaid applications. In-hospital patients will be visited by a financial counselor who will help start the application process. Follow-up appointments with financial counselors can also be scheduled after you're discharged.

Auto-related injuries

If you’re injured in an automobile accident, you’re required to notify your automobile insurance carrier as soon as possible. Your carrier will assign a claim number and an adjuster to handle your claim. New York State regulations require all claims be filed within 45 days of the date of service. It’s important that you provide all available information to the Admitting Department.

Work-related injuries

All work-related injuries must be reported to your employer. Your employer will provide you with a claim number and the name and address of their Worker’s Compensation Carrier. Please provide this information during registration.
