Understand Your Healthcare
At Eastern Plains Medical Clinic, one of our pillars is transparency and ensuring that you are always aware of your health care treatment plans and costs of services. Regardless if you have insurance or not, our team will always discuss your options with you and make sure you know how much you can expect to spend.
If there’s ever a time when we’re unable to give you an exact cost, we will do our best to provide an estimate that’s as accurate as possible. In addition, we will make all financial information available to you so you can understand your financial responsibilities and make informed decisions regarding your healthcare.
We want to make sure you understand your financial rights as a patient. Remember, these rights always apply to you no matter where you receive medical services.
The Federal Government has enacted legal requirements and initiated programs to publicize costs associated with certain health care services. This mandate attempts to promote efforts to improve transparency in health charges and provider payments.
Effective January 1, 2021, CMS requires hospitals to make available a list of their current standard charges,
cash prices of services for self-pay and uninsured patients, insured patient out-of-pocket pricing on a select group of common services, pay or specific contract rates for services and the de-identified minimum and maximum contract rate for each service. The information provided below is intended to meet the
requirements of the CMS regulation. Actual charges on the final bill, and corresponding patient out-of-pocket pricing, may vary for a variety of reasons which may include the patient’s medical condition, additional tests or procedures, unknown circumstances or complications, final diagnosis, and treatment ordered by the attending provider and care received.
Please be advised that while we attempt to estimate the cost of care as accurately as possible, there may be significant variations between the estimate provided and the price reflected on your final bill.
The pricing only covers the specific service listed and provided through Eastern Plains Medical Clinic and
does not provide pricing in situations where services are provided by healthcare providers and or facilities
that are not employed by Eastern Plains Medical Clinic. Please contact them directly for price information associated with care and services received from them.
