Separate Billing for Hospital and Additional Services

Understanding Your Bill from EPPA

Emergency care often requires multiple resources.  Your bill from EPPA is for the provider who you saw during your visit to a hospital emergency department.  Because our providers are independent from the hospital you will receive a separate bill from us for your provider services.  Click Here to view the hospital locations where you will find EPPA providers.  

We know visiting an emergency department can be scary and is most often unplanned.  We’re here to ensure your experience with your healthcare provider meets and exceeds your expectations.  At EPPA, we are committed to the patients and communities we serve.

EPPA Billing FAQs

We want to make it easy for you to view your statement, pay your bill or set up a payment plan.  If you have questions, we’re here to help.

  • Who is EPPA? And why am I being charged for services?

    Emergency Physicians Professional Association (EPPA) is an independent group of physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who provide emergency medical care for patients in multiple emergency departments across Minnesota.  
    We are not employees of the hospital, and therefore our billing is separate.  EPPA’s bill is for the doctor/provider you saw during your visit to the emergency department.  Click here for a full list of hospitals where you’ll find EPPA providers.

  • Why did I receive a text message?

    Your text message from EPPA is regarding a recent visit to a hospital emergency department. The text message assists you in accessing your statement and provides options for assistance if you have questions.

  • Why have I received multiple bills for my visit to the emergency department?

    A visit to the hospital emergency department often requires multiple resources that are most often billed separately. Your bill from EPPA is for the provider only. Hospital facility fees and other services will result in separate bills depending on your individual visit.

  • What are my payment options?

    You can sign in through our patient portal and follow the Make Payment prompts. You may provide a one·time credit card or Electronic Check payment and can set up automatic recurring credit card payment plans as well.

  • Why am I being billed if I have insurance?

    Please review the transactions located in the middle of your statement.  You will see if our office has filed a claim with your insurance company.  If we have received a response you will find additional information in the gray shaded area on the right side of your statement.  If your statement doesn’t show your insurance was billed or if the information needs to be updated please select “Update Insurance” on our patient portal.

  • I can see my insurance was billed but has not responded. What should I do?

    Please contact your insurance company to check the status of your claim.  Be ready to provide them with additional information from your statement. If you need additional information contact us at 1-888-662-6276. 

  • How do I access my health records?
