Mineral Community Hospital Charges

All hospitals in the US are required to provide a list of standard hospital charges -- also called a chargemaster -- that way patients can compare prices across hospitals. also take in to consideration the following.

• These charges are rarely the price that patients pay. The chargemaster lists the dollar amount set for each service prior to insurance contract/benefit plan discounts or self-pay discounts being applied, so the price patients pay tends to be less than the standard charge.
• Hospital charges differ from patient to patient for the same service depending upon variations in treatment.
• Patients who are eligible for financial assistance also receive additional discounts.
• Items included in a charge vary across hospital systems. For example, what’s included in one hospital’s charge for room and board may differ from other hospital’s charge ― some hospitals bundle services together into a single charge that others may list separately.
• Looking at various hospital charges does not provide any indication of quality of service and outcomes.
