Description:
Volunteers will help you organize and track your medical bills and insurance claims. The volunteers have been trained to act as counselors in hospital rights and insurance claim processing. Although not experts, the volunteers have participated in a training program designed to provide them with knowledge in private insurance, Medicare, Medical Assistance, Supplemental Insurance, Long Term Care Insurance, HMOs and other important areas involved in health care coverage. In addition, the volunteers have many resources available to them and can help guide you through the insurance maze.
Volunteers will help:
- Prepare insurance claims
- Understand patient's hospital rights and insurance benefits
- Explore insurance options
- Review long-term care options
- Answer questions or concerns
- Refer clients to other agencies when appropriate
The Health Insurance Counseling Program (HICP) is for individuals of all ages. Concerns about medical bills or insurance coverage do not have to relate to Rice Hospital. If you received care in Rochester, Minneapolis, at your physician's clinic or elsewhere, you can use this free service. The program counselors offer one-on-one assistance to help answer your questions.
Clients may walk-in during office hours or call for an appointment. HICP is provided free of charge, however, donations for program costs are accepted.
This program is funded by the Rice Health Foundation & Rice Hospital Auxiliary.
