Sylva Emergency Group
Sylva Emergency Group proudly provides emergency medical services at Harris Regional Hospital. Because the emergency providers are independent of the hospital, sometimes the insurance relationships differ between the hospital and the provider. While Sylva Emergency Group continues to develop relationships with many insurance companies, we arc currently not in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). As a BCBS subscriber you may be assured that the emergency providers will accept what the insurance pays and will only bill you for your co-insurance and deductible amounts, writing off all nonallowed charges. Although you may receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance company that shows a non-allowed or non-approved amount. Please be assured that the emergency physicians will accept what the insurance pays and will only bill you for your co-insurance and deductible amounts, writing off all non-allowed charges. Please be aware that sometimes patients receive the payment for emergency provider services directly from their insurance company. In the event you receive the payment directly from BCBS, we ask that you deposit the check in your personal bank account and send us a check or money order for the same amount to the address below along with the EOB from BCBS, so that appropriate adjustments can be applied.
