Stormont Vail Team Takes Spring Walk Around the Capitol

With Spring in the air, a group of Stormont Vail team members from the Administrative Center had a spring in their step Wednesday as they took a brisk walk around the Capitol. The lunchbreak activity encouraged walking as a healthy activity and promoted collegiality. The walk was planned by the Fun Committee at the SVHAC and led by Senior Vice Presidents Tracy O’Rourke and Stacie Mason. Several four-legged team members from our Paw Squad also joined the walk.

Prompt Pay Program Helps Patients Save on Medical Bills

We’re committed to easing the financial burden associated with seeking care. We offer all patients a way to save through our Prompt Pay Program. When you pay 90% of your total account balance in one payment, we’ll write off the remaining 10%. This offer applies to all our services after your insurance processes your claim. For example, if your bill amounts to $1,000 (after insurance), and you pay $900, we’ll waive the final $100 for you.

The Prompt Pay Program began in August 2024 and has been a great way to help people get a discount when they pay off their account balance in one payment.  For more details on our Prompt Pay or other financial assistance options, contact our Customer Service Representatives at (785) 354-1150 or (800) 637-4716 or email [email protected]. For assistance in Spanish, please call (833) 692-3054.

Reducing medical costs makes our services more financially accessible to a broader community, ultimately improving overall health outcomes. We encourage all team members to tell patients, their friends, family, and neighbors about this benefit.

We together,

Dr. K
