A native of St. Michael, MN, Dr. Haus grew up with elderly parents as the youngest of nine children. He saw them go through a number of health issues, inspiring him to learn more about helping people. He enjoys the challenge that comes with practicing medicine and is charged by the satisfaction that comes with caring for others.
Joining the Glenwood community has allowed Dr. Haus the ability to stay near his large family in a setting that he considers nothing short of beautiful.
He attained a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science from St. Cloud State University and graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School with specialized training in cardiology and women’s health. Dr. Haus joined Glacial Ridge Health System in 1997.
Dr. Haus and his wife Karen have four adult children. To unwind, he enjoys gardening, running, biking, and working in his shop.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
