Health Insurance Plans Accepted at Sarasota Memorial Locations
Below is information on the Medicare/Medicaid, private and other health insurance plans accepted at Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Sarasota Campus, Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice Campus, and our network of outpatient and urgent care centers. This list is subject to change at any time.
Confirm Coverage
Because health insurance coverage can differ from plan to plan, even under the same insurer, we highly recommend contacting your insurance company’s member services for information specific to your plan’s coverage and to confirm your plan’s in-network providers and facilities.
Except in emergency situations, using an out-of- network facility can result in a patient being responsible for a larger portion of a hospital bill.
Emergency Care
You have the right to seek emergency services and care anywhere they are provided, regardless of insurance.
In a medical emergency, patients may seek emergency care at any of our 3 ER locations — SMH-Sarasota, SMH-Venice or our freestanding North Port ER — regardless of insurance coverage or network status. In emergency situations, you should always go to the nearest ER – no authorization is needed, and a patient’s financial responsibility is no higher if they go to an out-of-network hospital.
Health Plans We Accept
Unless indicated with a noted exception of "pending" or "excluded," the health insurance plans listed below are accepted at SMH-Venice, SMH-Sarasota and our network of outpatient and urgent care centers. This list is subject to change at any time.
