North Carolina Hospital Association

NC Hospitals are here for you when you need us and even when you don’t. Have you ever considered what it takes to make that possible?

North Carolina hospitals are committed to improving access to useful information for anyone making health care decisions. This information should come from all providers involved in your care, from physicians and hospitals to insurance companies. If you have insurance coverage, you will probably be most interested in knowing your potential “out of pocket” costs. Your insurance provider is the best source for this information. Many insurance companies have established cost calculators for their customers, based on a specific insurance plan, that can help you estimate your financial liability. Any search also should include getting information about quality measures, like patient safety and outcomes for hospital and outpatient procedures.

You can find more information on cost and quality transparency here.

The North Carolina Hospital Association is pleased to launch its NEW Corporate Sponsorship Program beginning January 1, 2015. The program provides four tiers with benefits for each level of participation and support. The corporate sponsorship program will run for a 365-day period and may be renewed annually upon request. This new program will replace the previous Summer Meeting Sponsorship and Exhibitor program, but will incorporate some of the same benefits and more.  Click here for more details
