Patient Pricing Information

You have reached the federally-required section of our website that contains the charges for the services we provide within our facility. While we provide this information to comply with federal regulations, healthcare billing is complex. It is extremely important for you, as the consumer, to understand that standard charges may not be a relevant starting point for estimating what costs you may incur during an episode of care, and the amount actually paid by a patient will depend on that patient’s insurance coverage, policy provisions and other factors. Everyone’s case is different based on that patient’s medical condition. Please contact the hospital directly for more information regarding your specific financial responsibility.

Standard Charges

In accordance with CMS Hospital Price Transparency regulations, standard charges are made public in two ways:

  1. A list of 300 shoppable services in a consumer-friendly format and
  2. A comprehensive machine-readable file (MFR)

This information provided is not a quote, nor is it a guarantee of payment or benefits for healthcare services. If you have insurance, your insurance policy (including deductibles, co-pay, co-insurance, out-of-pocket maximums, covered services and medical necessity) will further determine the amount owed. The information does not include any physician or professional service costs, including, but not limited to, office visits, surgeon, anesthesiologist, emergency room physician, radiologist, pathologist, consulting physicians, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, physical therapist, etc. or costs for prescription drugs administered through prescription drug benefit programs.

Note: This is not a guarantee of payment or insurance coverage. Please check with your insurance if you need help understanding your benefits for the services chosen.

List of 300 Shoppable Services

To comply with federal regulations, the list of standard charges is in a machine-readable format. This data is intended to be used by machines for data analysis.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STANDARD CHARGES
Why standard charges may vary:

Many things affect the cost of health care services. For example, the cost of a CT scan (used to obtain images of soft tissue and blood vessels) depends on what part of the body is being scanned and whether a contrast agent (special dye) is needed to make the organs and tissue more visible.

Standard charges provided on our website may be different from your actual charges for several reasons, including but not limited to:

  • The medical services/treatment you receive will be based on decisions made by you or your health care provider and may be different from the services you selected while reviewing our website.
  • The medical service/treatment you receive may be impacted by complications, secondary conditions, and/or other unknown factors.
  • The location of where your services are received differs from what is reviewed.
  • If your healthcare provider’s contract with your insurance carrier changes.

For more information, please contact (208) 262-2300.

Your insurance carrier can help you understand insurance terms such as out-of-pocket maximums, deductibles, and copayments that will affect what you ultimately pay. Patients enrolled in Medicare can find insurance information at www.Medicare.gov.
