Understanding Your Healthcare Bill
If you’re like many Americans, you don’t know what an emergency department visit or a surgical procedure costs until a bill from a healthcare provider or a letter from your insurance plan arrives in the mail. This uncertainty can be stressful and make it hard to plan your personal or household finances.
Your health insurer is your best guide, but to help patients better understand the cost of healthcare, Cape Cod Healthcare is providing clear information to consumers to help them determine the cost of their care.
This information will lead you to ask the right questions about healthcare prices, help you compare prices for a particular service and help you better understand and manage out-of-pocket costs for care.
Here, you can find information about consumer healthcare billing or download brochures from the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) for more information.
Understanding Healthcare Prices: a Consumer Guide
HFMA has developed a Consumer Education Guide to help consumers understand where to get answers to their questions about healthcare prices, compare prices among providers, and manage their out-of-pocket costs. Hospitals, physician practices, payers, and others are encouraged to share this resource with consumers.
Avoiding Surprises in Your Medical Bills
Cape Cod Healthcare also provides a charge book of our services, in accordance with federal law.
These resources are for informational purposes only. Your health insurer will be your best source of information based on your coverage, deductible and other personal information.
