Price Transparency Policy
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
At [Your Practice Name], we are committed to providing transparent information about the costs associated with our healthcare services. We believe in empowering our patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare based on both quality and cost considerations.
Standard Charges
In compliance with the Price Transparency Rule issued by CMS, we have made available a machine-readable file containing our standard charges for items and services. This file provides a comprehensive list of the prices for common procedures, tests, and services offered at our practice. Please note that these charges represent the standard rates and may not reflect the actual amount due from an individual patient due to insurance coverage, negotiated rates, or other factors. For an accurate estimate of your out-of-pocket costs, we recommend contacting our billing department or your insurance provider.
Cost Estimates
We understand that financial considerations play an important role in your healthcare decisions. If you would like a personalized cost estimate for a specific procedure or service, we encourage you to reach out to our billing department. Our knowledgeable staff will work with you to provide a good faith estimate based on your insurance coverage, deductible, co-pays, and other relevant factors. Please be aware that cost estimates may vary depending on the specific details of your case, and additional charges may apply based on unforeseen circumstances or complications during your treatment.
Insurance Coverage
It is essential to understand the terms of your insurance coverage, including deductibles, co-pays, and any limitations or exclusions that may affect your out-of-pocket expenses. We encourage you to review your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider directly to obtain accurate information about your coverage and benefits.
Compliance and Training: We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to ensure compliance with non-discrimination laws. Our staff receives training on non-discrimination, cultural competency, and providing respectful and inclusive care.
We are committed to creating an environment that values diversity, fosters respect, and ensures equal access to healthcare services for all individuals. If you have any questions or need further information regarding our non-discrimination policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
