Saint Francis is committed to helping patients understand the costs of their expected medical services. Some third-party services offering cost estimates don't accurately reflect Saint Francis data, resulting in estimates that are too high or too low.
The best way to know your costs is to check with your health insurance company. You can also look at your potential cost by using the Saint Francis Estimator. This application provides patient estimates for the top commonly purchased healthcare services. Estimates are based on location, your insurance and historical data. An active MyChart account is not required to use this service. However, an active MyChart account does help ensure a more accurate estimate.

FAQs About Standard Hospital Pricing
How does insurance factor into the standard hospital charges?
Patients with insurance coverage should contact their health benefits administrator for the most accurate information regarding plan structure, deductibles, co-payments and any other factors that might affect personal liability for anticipated healthcare services.
Physicians or other practitioners who provide professional services may not participate in an individual patient's health benefit plan. Patients should contact their plan administrator to determine the contract status of hospital-based providers such as pathologists, radiologists or anesthesiologists.
What does this charge include?
The estimates provided by Saint Francis Health System cover hospital charges only. They do not include professional fees for services such as those provided by a physician, surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, anesthesiologist, nurse practitioner or other independent practitioner. All professional fees are billed separately.
