Hospital Price Transparency
Russellville Hospital is dedicated to empowering our patients, in collaboration with their care team, to make informed decisions about their healthcare. This commitment includes providing clarity on the cost of care and ensuring patients are aware of any financial assistance options available to them. Together, we strive to deliver compassionate, accessible, and transparent care for every member of our community.
Price Estimation Tool
At Russellville Hospital, we are committed to helping patients understand their healthcare costs. Our online tool provides estimates for out-of-pocket costs for common medical procedures and tests based on your insurance information or self-pay status.
​
Healthcare costs can be confusing, and we’re here to help. For further assistance, contact our Patient Financial Care team at 256-331-8923. Please note, the online tool provides estimates and does not guarantee total costs. Be sure to review the disclaimers before use.
list of standard charges
In compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Price Transparency regulations, Russellville Hospital provides a list of standard charges in a machine-readable format. The public may view these requirements at the following CMS webpage: cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency.
​
The charges posted on our website are accurate, with applicable disclaimers, as of the dates indicated within the files. CMS requires hospitals to update annually. Therefore, the posted files may not reflect ongoing additions and changes.
​
The listed charge for a hospital service is not equivalent to the actual amount paid by governmental or commercial insurance companies. Accordingly, each patient’s financial responsibility may vary. The amount a patient pays is based on many factors, including health insurance providers, specific benefit plans and other applicable discounts, as well as the services provided based on each patient’s unique needs.
Russellville Hospital reviews its hospital charges annually to ensure they accurately reflect the high-quality care we seek to provide. In some cases, our charges are different from other providers when we offer a differing level of care or unique clinical expertise. Overall, our hospital works with patients, providers and partners to lower the cost of care through wellness programs, disease management and quality care.
Disclosure Notice Against Surprise Billing
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care — like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.”
If you think you’ve received an unexpected “surprise balance bill,” read the entire Surprise Billing Disclosure Notice. You can also use the following resources to assist you with your case.
