Mount Sinai Brooklyn
Important Information about Paying for Your Care at Mount Sinai Brooklyn
Mount Sinai Brooklyn (the “Hospital”) is a participating provider in many health plan networks. You can find a list of the plans in which we participate here. Some health plans use smaller networks for certain products they offer so it is important to check whether we participate in the specific plan you are covered by. Our list will tell you if we do not participate in all of a health plan’s products.
It is also important for you to know that the physician services you receive in the Hospital are not included in the Hospital’s charges. Physicians who provide services at the Hospital may be independent voluntary physicians, may be employed by the Hospital, may be employees of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, or may be contractors. Physicians bill for their services separately and may or may not participate in the same health plans as the Hospital. You should check with the physician arranging your hospital services to determine which plans that physician participates in.
Plan participation information for physicians employed by the Hospital or the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai can be found by using the “Find a Doctor” link at www.mountsinai.org to navigate to individual physicians’ profiles to view their “insurance” participation information. The Hospital also contracts with a number of physicians groups, such as anesthesiologists, neurologists, and gynecologists, to provide services at the hospital.

Your physician will also be able to tell you whether the services of any physicians employed or contracted by the Hospital are likely to be needed, such as anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists. Contact information for these physicians is available at www.mountsinai.org and as listed above. You should contact these groups directly to find out which health plans they participate in.
