Pricing Transparency
At Vista Health System, our goal is to provide patients with high quality care and the best possible patient experience. We know that the billing and payment process may seem overwhelming at times and we want to be as helpful as possible. Below is some information on pricing and how you can become a better-informed healthcare consumer.
Pricing Transparency
We are happy to follow CMS (Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services) guidelines that require all hospitals to make available a Standard Charge List for products and services provided at the facility. This list and background information regarding it and CMS guidelines can be found here:
Simple + Price... Know the Price Up Front.
For those who don’t have insurance coverage, we developed the Simple+Price plan and it offers a single price for common imaging and lab tests, when paid up-front. The price includes the hospital charge and the Radiologist reading fee. That’s price certainty. No confusion. No surprises. No separate bills later. And, it can help you stay on track for optimal health. Find out more.
Surprise Medical Billing Protections
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
