We have THE BEST community! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for thinking of our team over the recent stressful months. From making mask clips for a more comfortable fit and donating all types of PPE to your caring words and all of the special coffee, meals, and treats – you are amazing and your gratitude is so appreciated! For the many anonymous donors and for anyone we may have missed, THANK YOU as well.

Glacial Ridge Health System Chargemaster
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.
