Billing or insurance claim records Use MyChart billing documents or request itemized records. Statement, EOB, date of service, procedure name, account number, and insurer request details.
Records reminder: A portal view may not equal the full legal medical record. For legal, disability, school, insurance, transfer, or second-opinion use, ask Health Information Management what document set is required.

Billing, estimates, payment plans, and financial assistance

Hospital billing can include facility charges, professional charges, insurance processing, deductibles, coinsurance, payment plans, and financial assistance review.

Billing task Where to start What to have ready
Pay a bill Use Prisma Health MyChart or Pay as Guest. Guarantor name, account number, visit account, statement date, and payment method.
Understand a balance Compare MyChart statement with your insurance explanation of benefits. Date of service, billed amount, allowed amount, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and payments already made.
Set up payment plan Check billing options in MyChart or contact Prisma Health billing support. Monthly budget, due date, account number, and whether the bill is still processing through insurance.
Apply for financial assistance Use Prisma Health financial assistance resources online, in MyChart, by phone, by mail, or at a facility. Income proof, household size, insurance status, Medicaid/Marketplace eligibility information, and bill details.
Request a price estimate Ask before a scheduled surgery, imaging test, or non-emergency procedure. Procedure name, CPT code if known, ordering provider, insurance plan, location, and planned date.
Dispute or correct insurance Send updated insurance through MyChart or call billing support. Front and back of insurance card, subscriber details, claim number, EOB, and previous payment proof.
Before paying a confusing bill: Ask whether insurance has finished processing, whether financial assistance is pending, whether the balance is facility or physician billing, and whether a payment plan is available.

Visitor planning, patient support, Wi-Fi, lodging, and safety rules

Visitor rules can change by unit, infection-control status, public health guidance, patient condition, and hospital operations. Always confirm with the patient’s unit before traveling.

Before visiting

Call the patient’s unit or main hospital number to confirm current visitor limits, age rules, masking rules, quiet hours, and whether the patient can receive visitors.

Do not visit when sick

Do not visit if you have fever, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, flu-like symptoms, rash, recent contagious exposure, or have been told to isolate.

Wi-Fi and lodging

Prisma Health resources mention guest Wi-Fi and lodging resources for patients’ families and guests. Ask current staff for the network, terms, and nearby lodging options.

Photos and privacy

Protect patient privacy. Do not photograph or record staff, other patients, monitors, or care activities without permission.

Bring ID
Bring a valid photo ID if you may need visitor screening, records release, discharge planning, or patient-access assistance.
Ask the unit
Visitor rules can differ for emergency, surgery, ICU, behavioral health, postpartum, isolation, and long-term acute care areas.
Caregiver role
If you are the patient’s decision-maker or caregiver, bring medication lists, legal documents, discharge questions, and home-care concerns.
Safety
Follow posted rules for masking, hand hygiene, visitor badges, restricted areas, and infection-control instructions.

Avoid wrong-campus mistakes: Baptist, Parkridge, Richland, and Taylor Street offices

One of the most useful things a guide can do is prevent a patient from driving to the wrong Prisma Health campus.

Name you may see Location clue Why it matters
Prisma Health Baptist Hospital Taylor at Marion Street / 1330 Taylor Street, downtown Columbia. This is the page’s main campus. Confirm exact entrance, floor, suite, and parking.
Prisma Health Baptist Parkridge Hospital 400 Palmetto Health Parkway, Columbia, SC 29212. Separate campus in northwest Columbia. Do not assume Baptist and Baptist Parkridge are the same.
Prisma Health Richland Hospital 5 Richland Medical Park Drive, Columbia, SC 29203. Separate major hospital campus. Some emergency and specialty providers list multiple Prisma locations.
Prisma Health Children’s Hospital-Midlands Near the Richland campus area. Pediatric emergency and specialty instructions may point families to a different campus.
Taylor Street or Sumter Street clinics Nearby outpatient and pre-assessment addresses around the Baptist campus. Your appointment may be at a nearby office building rather than the main hospital entrance.
Final check before leaving: Match four things: campus name, street address, building or suite, and parking instructions. If one does not match, call the department.
