  • The program applies to all medically necessary hospital inpatient, outpatient and emergencyDepartment services that are billed by ChristianaCare, as well as all medically necessary services provided by any ChristianaCare-employed doctor. This would also include dental services that would require hospitalization. Services not eligible for support and excluded from this policy are cosmeticprocedures, bariatric services and liability cases.
