The acceptance of payment responsibility, based on each individual's ability to pay, is considered by Chautauqua Healthcare Services to be an integral part of each treatment plan and of the success of that treatment. Our billing policy is therefore based on each consumer's assuming responsibility for payment of services provided based upon individually verifiable financial circumstances. Chautauqua Healthcare Services does not deny services because of an inability to pay standard fees. We also consider third-party payments, such as Medicaid, Medicare and other insurance.
