A patient receiving treatment at our facility who presents an insurance with which we are considered out-of-network may be eligible to receive an adjustment to their assigned out-of-network patient liability. This is, assuming our facility is not prohibited from offering out-of-network adjustments under state/Federal laws or your insurance company’s provisions.
If not prohibited, the application of any out-of-network discount is subject to vary based on a patient’s benefit coverage. Accounts which become delinquent may have the adjustment disallowed.
The Agency for Health Care Administration maintains an interactive, searchable pricing website to provide data on health care costs for national, state and county prices.
Information regarding bundle services and procedures is available. The pricing provides a non-personalized estimate of cost that may be incurred by the patient for anticipated services.
