Question 1

Why do prices at Select Specialty Hospital - Augusta, Inc 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. Select Specialty Hospital - Augusta, Inc 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 Select Specialty Hospital - Augusta, Inc bundles professional fees into the facility charge or bills them separately.
