This hospital publishes no prices for these admissions — either it does not provide these services
or its file does not list them.
There is no combined total here, on purpose.
Inpatient rows are negotiated rates — what an insurer pays for a whole admission. Outpatient rows
are cash prices — what a self-pay patient is quoted for one service. They are different kinds of
number and adding them would produce a figure that is true of nobody.
Both exclude physician fees: the surgeon, anesthesiologist and radiologist bill separately and
appear in no hospital price file. Inpatient figures use only rates published as a case rate or fee
schedule, which cover the whole stay — per-diem rates price a single day and are excluded. What you
personally owe depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance, and on any financial assistance you
qualify for.

Financial assistance

What to ask for
- Call the billing office and say: “I’d like to apply for your financial
assistance policy.” Ask them to send you the application and their income limits.
- Apply before the bill goes to collections — hospitals commonly stop
accepting applications around 240 days after your first bill.
- Ask whether your bill already reflects assistance. It often isn’t applied
automatically, even for patients who would qualify.
- For care you haven’t had yet, if you’re uninsured or paying cash, ask for a
Good Faith Estimate in writing before you schedule. Federal law entitles you to
one, and if the final bill lands more than $400 above it you can dispute the
difference — see how the No Surprises Act works.
- If you don’t qualify for a discount, ask about an interest-free payment
plan — those are usually available regardless of income.
