Montefiore Nyack Hospital complies with laws requiring hospitals to maintain a list of fees for every service and procedure they offer and to make that list available upon request. For a list of Montefiore Nyack Hospital’s fees, please click here.

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 has not been determined, you’ll be asked to pay an estimated amount and will be billed for the balance, if necessary. Upon discharge, your insurance company will be invoiced for services provided. See a list of the insurance companies we work with. 

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.

Montefiore Nyack Hospital will bill you for the cost of services involved in your care, such as room and board, support staff, supplies and medications. You may also receive separate bills for services received at Montefiore Nyack Hospital from providers who have contributed to your care, such as anesthesiologists, pathologists, oncologists or other specialists.
