An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until December 3, 2021
You can help bring smiles to area children by donating a new, unwrapped toy, teenage item, or monetary donation during the 15th annual toy drive. As much as possible, we use financial donations to shop locally to fulfill items on their wish lists. Everything stays local! Gifts are distributed through Pope County Family Collaborative and the BBE School District. We appreciate our community’s support for all of these families this year!
We are accepting donations at any of our drop-off locations through December 3:
Glenwood – Hospital and EMS Building
Starbuck – Ambulance office, N. Main St., and Starbuck Medical Center
Belgrade – Central MN Credit Union
Brooten – Brooten Medical Center (& at the BBE Women’s Expo Dec. 4)
Thank you in advance for helping make the holidays brighter for these families.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
