Taking Care of You When You're Sick

Complimentary Rides To and From the Hospital
If you're scheduled for inpatient admission to the hospital, the last thing we want you to worry about is getting here and getting back home. So we'll pick you up and take you home. Just call us at (270) 575-2851 as soon as your admission date is confirmed or with as much advance notice as possible in case of a doctor's office appointment. Say you're a 55 Plus® member, and we'll schedule your transportation. For your ride home, call us at least one day before your discharge. (Transportation is available for ambulatory patients only.)

Faster, Easier Admission
With 55Plus® Advance Registration, you'll sail through admitting.

When you arrive, show us your membership card and tell us you've been through advance registration. All you'll have to do is sign a few forms.

Help with Insurance Filing
Fussing with insurance forms is one of the last things you should be doing during your recovery. To help you rest easier, we'll file claims related to your bill. Bring in your insurance information when you're admitted. We'll get the paperwork in order and in the proper hands --- on time.

Making It Easy to Pay
Medicare and other health plans cover many of your hospital bills. But there may be some you have to pay for. That's when 55Plus® can really help. Interest-free payment plans are available for the balance after your insurance coverage. Payment arrangements can be made by calling the telephone numbers listed below:
