Care provided in the Emergency Room (ER) department of a hospital. If you are admitted for an overnight hospital stay, then services are usually billed under your health plan’s inpatient hospital services coverage.
Many individuals use the ER for office visits when they are sick. This can affect the care for those who truly need emergency services. Another option, which can save an individual time and money, is to use an Urgent Care facility for a non-life-threatening illness versus an Emergency Room.
