Question 1

Why do prices at George L Mee Memorial Hospital vary across procedures?

Accepted Answer

Hospital prices reflect many factors including procedure complexity, whether imaging contrast is used, anesthesia requirements, facility fees, and the physician's time. George L Mee Memorial Hospital publishes these prices as required by federal law under 45 CFR Part 180, and they represent the hospital's cash pay rates. Your actual cost may vary depending on your insurance plan, specific diagnosis, and any additional services required.

Question 2

Does the cash pay price include the radiologist or physician reading fee?

Accepted Answer

This depends on whether George L Mee Memorial Hospital bundles professional fees into the facility charge or bills them separately. We recommend calling the hospital's billing department directly and asking whether the published cash pay price is all-inclusive or whether you should expect a separate bill from the reading physician or specialist.

Question 3

How do I get a personalized estimate from George L Mee Memorial Hospital?

Contact George L Mee Memorial Hospital's billing or patient financial services department directly. Have your insurance card (if applicable), the procedure name, and your physician's order ready.
