List of Charges

PATIENT PRICE INFORMATION LIST

 

To help patients understand what their potential financial liability for services might be, Decatur Health is providing the attached price list containing our standard charges for the procedures most commonly performed at the hospital.  If you would like information about charges that are not listed here, please contact our Business Office at 785-475-2208.  Our price lists will be updated at least annually.

 

The hospital’s charges are the same for all patients, but a patient’s responsibility may vary, depending on the discounts negotiated with individual health insurers.  These price lists do not include these discounts.  If you have health insurance, you should contact your insurance company directly to understand what your financial obligation will be.  Uninsured or underinsured patients should consult with our Business Office staff to determine whether they qualify for discounts. 

 

Your final bill will vary depending on the actual services provided, supplies/drugs/etc. used, existing health conditions that may impact your care (such as obesity, diabetes or smoking), and your insurance coverage, if you are insured.

 

Consumers can access a number of government and private websites, which provide additional information on hospitals’ charges and quality, through the internet.  The American Hospital Association and the Kansas Hospital Association may also have valuable information to help you understand healthcare pricing.  [You might also find helpful this Guide to Understanding Healthcare Pricing, which can be accessed through the link below.]
