Understanding Fees and Billing
At US Acute Care Solutions, it is our mission to care for patients, and we will do that from the time you step foot in the hospital to the time you pay your bill. We consider it a privilege to care for you in the hospital, and we will answer any questions you have about your bill.
First: an explanation
When you go to the hospital for treatment, you may receive two bills: one from the hospital (facility or testing fee) and one from the clinicians who provided your care (professional fee). The professional fee is what you are billed for from USACS. Keep reading for other frequently asked questions about billing.

FAQs
There are several factors that are reviewed when determining physician charges. The history and physical examination, the nature of the symptoms, the level of care needed and the medical decision-making are all factors. Physician charges are NOT determined based on the length of time you saw the physician.
