Your Bill

Everyone at Meridian Health understands and appreciates how overwhelming it can be to deal with health issues and billing issues at the same time. We strive to make this process as easy as possible for our patients. We invite you to call our Patient Accounts Department directly at 732-295-6262 if you have questions.

Your complete bill will be mailed to you. However, private room costs and insurance deductibles are due at the time of admission. These can be paid at the Admitting Department, which is open 24 hours a day. If you are not covered by an insurance provider, we will contact you to determine your eligibility for financial assistance and to make payment arrangements.
