The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) established guidance for hospitals to
make available a list of their standard charges online.
At St. Luke’s
Rehabilitation Institute, we know that health care can be an unexpected expense
and that the cost of health care services can be a deciding factor for many
people as they plan for care. St. Luke’s supports health care pricing
transparency and tools that help patients and consumers evaluate what care is
best for them and any related financial costs.
Hospital
charges can help patients understand what the costs might be for certain health
care services; however, they don’t provide a full picture of what patients will
pay. Patients’ financial liability will depend on the full course of treatment
and on the type of insurance coverage they have.
We encourage
all health care consumers to speak with their providers and their health plan
to get a full picture of what they will pay. For our patients, we offer
financial counseling for those experiencing hardship during any point
throughout their care.
If you have any questions, please contact billing customer service: (509) 473-6003 or 1-(866) 257-3599.
