What is Price Transparency?
In 2020, CMS finalized policies that lay the foundation for a patient-driven health care
system by making prices for items and services provided by all hospitals in the United States more
transparent for patients so that they can be more informed about what they might pay. This system requires that we, as a
hospital, are required to make public a yearly list of the standard charges for items and services provided
by us and our underlying Chipola Surgical & Medical Specialties group.
What is a Chargemaster?
A chargemaster is a comprehensive, itemized list of all the costs of products, procedures, and services involved with your healthcare needs.
Please keep in mind that our hospital chargemaster has a list of our items along with the minumum and maximum allowed amounts for our insurance contracts that are negotiated. However, some items are a portion of a larger procedure charge and therefore do not have a negotiated contract amount on their own. (Effective 1/1/21)
