Question 6

Why do prices at SAINT MICHAEL'S MEDICAL CENTER vary across procedures?

Accepted Answer

Hospital prices reflect many factors including procedure complexity, whether imaging contrast is used, anesthesia requirements, facility fees, and the physician's time. SAINT MICHAEL'S MEDICAL CENTER publishes these prices as required by federal law under 45 CFR Part 180, and they represent the hospital's cash pay rates. Your actual cost may vary depending on your insurance plan, specific diagnosis, and any additional services required.

Question 7

Does the cash pay price include the radiologist or physician reading fee?

Accepted Answer

This depends on whether SAINT MICHAEL'S MEDICAL CENTER bundles professional fees into the facility charge or bills them separately. We recommend calling the hospital's billing department directly and asking whether the published cash pay price is all-inclusive or whether you should expect a separate bill from the reading physician or specialist.

Accepted Answer

Contact SAINT MICHAEL'S MEDICAL CENTER's billing or patient financial services department directly. Have your insurance card (if applicable), the procedure name, and your physician's order ready.
