Price Transparency at Gifford Health Care

Effective January 1, 2021 Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires hospitals to make public their standard charges online in two ways:

Use the following links to access a machine readable list of all standard charges and a list of ‘shoppable’ services.

A consumer-friendly display of standard charges for ‘shoppable’ services that are grouped with charges for ancillary services that are customarily provided by the hospital. A ‘shoppable’ service is a service that can be scheduled by a healthcare consumer in advance.

A comprehensive machine-readable file that includes all standard charges for all hospital items and services

*Please note, charges listed for some shoppable services are an estimate based on the typical set of ancillary services provided during that procedure. The estimate is to provide you with a general idea of what other patients with similar medical conditions have been charged for similar procedures or treatments. Actual procedure charges will vary based on the actual treatments provided to each patient. The shoppable services list is as an estimate and should not be considered a quote. All patients are urged to consult with their health insurer to confirm individual patient responsibilities and remaining deductible balances.

Health insurers and self-funded health benefit plans must post machine-readable files (MRFs). These MRFs should help you understand pricing and costs for health care services. They include negotiated rates for all covered items with in-network providers and previous payments to, and billed charges from, out-of-network providers. MRFs are accessible free of charge, without establishing a user account, password or other credentials and you don’t need to submit identifying information such as a name, email address or telephone number.
