Patient Financial Responsibility

Pay Your Bills Online

Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital (SSMH) provides emergency medical services to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.

SSMH needs your insurance information at least 4 days in advance of a scheduled medical admit or surgery admit to allow us time to contact your insurance company, verify insurance coverage, verify financial responsibility, and obtain pre-certification if required. We will calculate your estimated out-of-pocket expenses since some, or all, fees will be payable on the day of service. You will be responsible for any charges your insurance company denies.

SSMH accepts the following methods of payment from our patients:

Cash

Check

All Major Credit Cards

Bank Loan (low interest through Bank of Siloam Springs)
