Effective January 1, 2019, hospitals are required by law to make information available about standard charges for the items and services provided. Hospital pricing and medical billing can be complicated. While patients can find hospital charges for different kinds of medical services, most healthcare consumers never pay these rates. Actual amounts paid vary from one case to another.
Your total charges for your services while in our care may be higher or lower than an average patient based on factors like:
- The length of your hospital recovery
- The difficulty of the surgery or procedure
- The types of medication required
- Any complications that required additional treatment or care
- Other pre-existing conditions you have that may affect your treatment plan
Price transparency is a term used in healthcare and by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a rule that requires hospitals to provide prices for standard charges. This rule requires hospitals to make prices available to their consumers so they can make more informed healthcare decisions. The information found should not be used to accurately estimate or determine your out-of-pocket patient responsibilities. For an individual estimate, please contact us at (402) 747-2031. Annie Jeffrey Memorial County Health Center understands that determining the quality of healthcare includes decisions on healthcare cost. To assist consumers in managing their financial health, we offer free and individualized estimates based on your health insurance and benefits.
Our hospital makes a good faith effort to ensure the standard charge information displayed in the MRF is true, accurate, and complete. Click here to download and view a complete list of standard charges for items and services at Annie Jeffrey Memorial County Health Center.
