Price Transparency
Body
Pursuant to federal law intended to promote price transparency in healthcare, Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 is providing the public with information to help consumers make informed decisions when shopping for healthcare. The information is presented in good faith and believed to be without error at the time of publication. We may, from time to time, update this information to correct any identified errors.
Commonly used (“shoppable”) services: In addition to the cost of 70 services we are required to include (marked as N/A if we do not provide the service), we are including the cost to the consumer of the services that we provide most often. For each service listed in this “shoppable” services file, consumers can find: (i) the price we charge, which does not reflect the price we are paid or the out-of-pocket costs a patient may be responsible for; and (ii) the self-pay price we offer to United States residents without insurance.
Complete listing of services: In addition to the “shoppable” services file, consumers can review a complete listing of charges for all services provided by Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖. In this file, presented as a single digital file in machine-readable format, consumers can find: (i) the price we charge, which does not reflect the price we are paid or the out-of-pocket costs a patient may be responsible for; and (ii) the self-pay price we offer to United States residents without insurance.
Unless otherwise specified, the costs included in these files are on a per-unit basis, not a per-appointment basis. For example, physical therapy may be billed in 15-minute increments (units), and a one-hour appointment would be billed as four (4) units.
Consumers should note that inpatient hospital charges are determined by the services a patient receives during their stay with us. Each patient’s exact plan of care and treatment will vary based on their specific diagnosis, rehabilitation needs, progress towards recovery, and length of their stay. Inpatient services marked by an asterisk (*) in place of cost are services included in the overall cost of an inpatient stay. We do not bill these services separately during inpatient stays. Additionally, our patients may receive services that are provided and billed by other entities involved in the patient’s care. Therefore, although we are able to anticipate most of the services an inpatient will need, consumers should not rely on these lists as a guarantee of cost.
Consumers should also note that drug costs included in these files is on a per-unit basis. Billed charges for the administration of drugs depends upon dosage and amount administered, which may change from one visit to another depending upon each patient’s medical needs. Therefore, consumers are advised to contact us to assist with calculation of cost.
While we strive for accuracy and transparency, the actual cost of services relies on numerous factors which cannot all be accounted for in a price list or a cost estimator. Consumers are advised to contact their health insurer to confirm individual payment responsibilities and remaining deductible balances.
Consumers using this information acknowledge their understanding that it is not a guarantee of price. In order to determine a more accurate estimate of cost, or for questions about services not included on these lists, consumers are advised to contact our Patient Financial Services department at 312-238-6039.
