Frequently Asked Questions

Patients might pick a hospital trauma center from a few options or may only have one option.

If a patient chooses to visit an emergency room facility for treatment in a non-emergency situation, the patient is responsible for costs in excess of normal care prices.

Members can choose the best provider for their medical needs based on quality or any other criteria they choose. ImmediPay brings much more cost and service satisfaction transparency to those decisions with data and feedback from other ImmediPay users. In many instances, research has shown that providers with the best quality outcomes also tend to have more volume experience and lower costs.
