Patient Price Information List

Comparing Hospital Charges at Nashville General  Hospital

We want you to know what your care may cost.

Federal rules require hospitals to share information about their prices online. This information can help you understand the cost of care before you receive services.

Nashville General Hospital provides information about our standard charges and average charges for different types of care. These prices are a guide. What you pay may be different based on your insurance, the services you receive, and other factors.

Our goal is to make healthcare costs easier to understand so you can make informed choices about your care.

Hospital charges are the same for all patients. However, what you pay may be different based on your health insurance.

Your cost may include:

• Deductible: the amount you pay before your insurance starts paying.
• Copay: a set amount you pay for a service.
• Coinsurance: your share of the cost after insurance pays its part.

What you pay may also depend on how much you have already paid toward your deductible or yearly out-of-pocket limit. For help understanding your costs, please contact your insurance company or our Patient Advocate.

An estimate gives you an idea of what your care may cost.

• Average charges are based on past patient charges.
• Your estimated cost is based on your health insurance plan.
• You may ask for a written estimate before your scheduled test or service.
• Charges may include your hospital room, medicines, supplies, lab work, X-rays, and other hospital services.
• Standard charges show the price for each hospital service.
• Doctor charges may not be included. You may receive a separate bill from your doctor.
• Your final cost may be different from the estimate. Your cost may change if you need more tests, services, or a different level of care.

If you do not have health insurance or plan to pay for your own care, you have the right to get a Good Faith Estimate.

A Good Faith Estimate tells you how much your care may cost. You can ask for this estimate before you schedule care or when you schedule your service.
