Advance Healthcare Directive
All adults can benefit from thinking about what their healthcare choices
would be if they are unable to speak for themselves. It’s not an
easy conversation to have, but your decisions can be written in a document
called an advance directive so others know what they are.
You have the right to give instructions about your own healthcare. You
also have the right to name someone else to make healthcare decisions
for you. The Advance Healthcare Directive form lets you do either or both
of these things.
Learn more about an advance directive and download a form (directions included).

HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal
regulation that went into effect nationwide on April 14, 2003. It establishes
a foundation of federal protections for the privacy of health information.
Patient privacy is, and always has been, very important to us.
The Notice of Privacy Practices describes the privacy practices of Campbell
County Health (CCH), its related and affiliated organizations including
Campbell County Medical Group, Campbell County Memorial Hospital,
Powder River Surgery Center, The Legacy Living & Rehabilitation Center, among others, and all
of their physicians and employees. It applies to services you receive
at all CCH service locations. Please contact the Patient and Resident
Experience department at 307-688-1530 if you have any questions.
If you have experience with
Medicare or a health insurance plan, you probably know that Medicare and insurance
companies only cover services that they view as medically necessary to
diagnose or treat your health condition, based on criteria decided by
the federal government and private Medicare contractors. For more information
about what this means, please
click here.
At Campbell County Health, we want to help you know ahead of time what
services will be covered by your insurance plan. We will make every attempt
to contact your
provider to request information about the test or service they have requested in
order to meet your plan’s definition of “medically necessary”.
However, if we don’t receive the requested information, you may
receive a written notice from us called an Advance Beneficiary Notice
of Noncoverage (ABN) if we think Medicare or your insurance company may
not pay for the items or services ordered by your doctor.
The ABN gives you information to make an informed choice about whether
or not to receive items or services, understanding that you may have to
accept responsibility for payment. You’ll be asked to choose an
option box and sign the notice to say that you read and understood it.
An ABN isn’t an official denial of coverage by Medicare. You have
the right to file an appeal if payment is denied when a claim is submitted.
If you have additional questions or concerns about this process, please call our
Patient Accounting department at 307-688-1400.
