 
Upon
admission of a resident, it is his/her responsibility and/or
that of the responsible
party to provide all insurance information
to the Admissions Coordinator or Business
Office. Hillcrest does not submit insurance
claims on behalf of private
pay residents.
Our Billing and Insurance Department
staff is available to assist residents and
family members in clarifying benefits if necessary. Hillcrest
bills in advance on a
monthly basis. The base rate includes routine nursing care,
the room, three meals a day and snacks. Linens and all recreational/social
activities are also included in
the base rate. An itemized statement is mailed by the first
of each month and payment is
due by the 20th of each month. There is a $50.00 late charge
applied to payments
received after that date. Charges other than routine services
such as rehabilitation therapy, beauty shop, laundry, medications
and medical supplies will
appear on the following month’s statement. A list of
our charges for medical
supplies, equipment, beauty shop, laundry and rehabilitation
rates is
provided upon admission.
