Disclaimer and Explanation for Standard Hospital Charges
Our hospital utilizes a chargemaster system to determine standard charges for patient services. This comprehensive list encompasses the various components of patient care that contribute to each individual’s medical bill, serving as the baseline pricing for our healthcare services.
Similar to a vehicle’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), the chargemaster represents the initial pricing for services and goods associated with a patient’s treatment. We periodically update these rates to accurately reflect our operational expenses and ensure financial transparency.
It’s important to understand that standard charges do not directly translate to patient out-of-pocket costs. Government insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid have predetermined rates that hospitals are required to accept, which typically differ from the chargemaster rates. Commercial insurance payments are similarly negotiated through managed care contracts and may vary from standard charges.
Patients without commercial or government healthcare coverage are encouraged to contact our facility directly to discuss specific charges, explore potential alternative pricing options, and establish appropriate payment arrangements tailored to their individual circumstances.
