Patient Relations
Concerns may arise during a hospital stay. Your nurse and the nursing unit director are available to address your concerns and should be your first point of contact. When other departments are involved, they can reach the appropriate director to resolve the issue.
Patient Relations is available to assist when resolution of an issue cannot be accomplished with the nurse or unit director. The Patient Relations phone number is 412-367-6863.
Billing questions and issues requiring clarification of the billing process are managed by Patient Business Services. For questions or comments about your bill, call Patient Business Services at 1-800-854-1745.
