The information provided here is no way a quote or guarantee of the amount that you will or what the charges for a service will be. You will be held responsible for the actual amount you owe determined after services are rendered, including additional physician services.
The information here is based on hospital “charges.” A hospital “charge” is not the same as “expected payment.” “Charge” is the amount billed for a service. In the vast majority of cases, hospitals are paid considerably less than the billed amount. Because each person’s case is different based on that patient’s medical condition, a given patient’s charge will not necessarily be the same as the average charge. Furthermore, the actual amount paid by a patient will depend on that patient’s insurance coverage. Patients should also talk with their insurance provider to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s.
