Hospital Price Transparency
Although HSS standard charges are uniform for all patients, actual out-of-pocket costs for patients may significantly vary depending on one or more of the following factors:
- Actual services received.
- Insurance coverage, including:
-
Copayments (or copays) – fixed dollar amounts (e.g. $20) you’re responsible for paying for a covered appointment, service.
-
Coinsurance – how much you owe for a covered health care, calculated as a percentage (e.g. 10%) of the allowed amount. Unlike copayments, which are a flat fee, coinsurance varies based on the cost of the total service.
-
Deductible – the dollar amount you have to pay out-of-pocket for covered services before your health insurance plan begins paying for your care.
-
Out-of-pocket max (maximum) – the highest dollar amount you may need to pay out of pocket for covered healthcare in a calendar year aside from your monthly premium.
