Most of our facilities located at our Hospital & Seattle Medical Center, including our General Internal Medicine Department and specialty clinics, are licensed as a hospital. The other location licensed as a hospital is our Outpatient Hospital Surgery Center (OSC) in Federal Way.
If you receive care at our Hospital & Seattle Medical Center or the Federal Way OSC, certain outpatient services and procedures may have a hospital facility charge, in addition to a professional charge. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may pay more out of pocket for certain outpatient services and procedures at our Hospital & Seattle Medical Center and Federal Way OSC than you would at one of our regional medical centers.
Please review your insurance benefits or contact your insurance company to see what your policy will pay and what you may have to pay out of pocket.
A “physical” is a preventive care visit. A physical focuses on promoting maintenance of good health, identifying risk factors for particular health conditions based on your individual history, and helping you to reduce your risk of developing these diseases in the future.
Examples of services that are generally covered in a physical include:
Services not considered preventive care are billed separately. Some examples include:
Because these medical services extend beyond preventive care, they will be billed to your insurance in addition to the charges for your preventive visit.
