Altru recognizes the importance of patients’ access to information
and is committed to providing useful price information for our patients
in order to help patients better anticipate out-of-pocket responsibilities
for specific services or courses of treatment. To help determine your
out-of-pocket costs when planning for your healthcare, Altru's online
tool allows you to get a quick and personalized estimate for common procedures
and services.
Estimates are used to get an idea of what your financial obligations could
be however, estimates are not a guarantee of the exact amount you will
be responsible for paying. There are many different services that could
be ordered by your provider that may not be included in the estimate and
the price may be lower or higher than the estimate states. Your care will
always be based on your specific needs and your services could change
during your treatment which would affect your original estimate amount.
Insurance plans can also affect out-of-pocket costs and estimates may
not include any changes to insurance coverage or benefits (such as deductibles,
co-insurance, co-pays, etc.). Altru encourages you to contact your insurance
company directly to determine if the services are a covered benefit and
to explain what your financial responsibility is as it relates to your
specific insurance coverage. Learn more about understanding health insurance from
Consumer Reports.

Pricing Transparency
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires hospitals
to make available online a listing of standard hospital charges. Altru
Health System supports the intent of the regulations to further educate
patients on the cost of their care and understanding their bill. This
can best be provided through a personalized estimate which you can access
through our estimate tool on MyChart or by calling 701.780.5510.
