Important Information about Paying for Your Care at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital

St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital is a participating provider in many health plan networks. You can find a list of the plans in which we participate here: Insurance Plans Accepted at MSLC (May 2024). Some health plans use smaller networks for certain products they offer so it is important to check whether we participate in the specific plan you are covered by. Our list will tell you if we do not participate in all of a health plan's products.

It is also important for you to know that the physician services you receive in the hospital are not included in the hospital's charges. Physicians who provide services at the hospital may be independent voluntary physicians or they may be employed by the hospital. Physicians bill for their services separately and may or may not participate in the same health plans as the hospital. You should check with the physician arranging your hospital services to determine which plans that physician participates in. Plan participation information for physicians employed by the hospital can be found here:
