Patient Self-Pay Guidance
Hospital procedures typically involve two separate bills: the Facility Bill (from the hospital) and the Professional Bill (from your surgeon and anesthesiologist). Our 3-tier algorithm establishes a protected lower bound using CMS Medicare rates and audited hospital break-even costs so you are not blindsided by teaser line items.
