I have no direct knowledge of what is done re" price information
|
|
i encourage patients to ask for prices and shop around for best price to reduce their co-pay.
|
|
we are incapable of disclosing any financial information prior to the initiation of medical evaluation due to federal law
|
|
We haven't have to worry about that yet as we essentially have a single payer source.
|
|
Discussions only,
|
|
I am unsure, they mainly ask about massage therapy which is free.
|
|
Some prices/costs are posted on the Wisconsin Price point web cite
|
|
I really don't know, haven't heard anything

I work at a county general hospital. Most patients have no intention of paying, anyway

I practice in Canada and our cooorporation pays all costs and this is then covered thru a bugetary process by
the Provincial government
|
|
We provide a list of prices to our clients.
|
|
Patients seem to be concerned only with the portion of the bill they will be responsible for
|
What the practice "charges" is of no matter. The insurance company determines what is received for services.
I am not sure why we bother having a price.
|
|
not necessary- I am military
|
|
am retired, no longer involved
|
|
We have a set of "real prices" for non-insured patients, rather than "charges"
|

We are urging our vendors for transparency languages in the contracts with hospitals and physicians

hospital costs are for various procedures are now posted on a State website for all the hospitals in the State
|
My organization (a health plan) is working on getting this data to consumers in the various markets.
It is a complex issue to address.
|
|
we are in the process of making prices available for all 4 hospitals in our system, only one live currently, second up very soon
|
we proactively work with individual patients prior to elective surgeries and admissions to talk about the coverage
of their individual plan, and their expected co-pay
|
|
we are aware of it but I do not think we have any active plans at present time
|
|
My healthplan has a transpanrency tool available on-line for members.
|
|
case-by-case discussions with patient and family
|
We have recommended to the Board posting pricing along with Quality Measures,
but the Board felt uncomfortable with financial information on the web.
|
I am currently deployed. Billing for services for military health care is done through a central billing office and the providers
do not have access to a privec list for services provided
|
|
We are a healthplan that makes the price transparent to the patient (Tricare).
|
|
we refer them to our financial counselors who are present during all patient care sessions (we are an FQHC-look alike)
|
|
These activities are vetted in Finance and I have no specific information
