Inpatient Standard Services
Inpatient Price Guide
It is important to note, a hospital “charge” is not the same as “expected payment.” A charge is the amount billed for a service. In many cases, hospitals are paid considerably less than the billed amount. Even though the hospital’s prices on our list are the same for all patients, actual charges for each specific patient may vary from the listed standard charges due to a combination of factors. Hospital charges are based on the type of care provided and can differ from patient to patient based on varying treatments needed and length of stay.
The Healthcare Financial Management Association has published a booklet, “Understanding Healthcare Prices: A Consumer Guide,” which can help you better understand where to get answers to your questions about healthcare prices, how to compare prices among providers and how to manage your out-of-pocket costs.
