They do not accept health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid funds. The hospital does not receive any government funds which offers them a great deal of flexibility in pricing and other administrative procedures. He claims this model also exempts them from the EMR requirements of Obamacare.
Their approach is designed to deliver low cost, efficient health care in a manner that cuts through a lot of red tape and overhead. In doing so they are able to post prices for most of their procedures online.
Sample prices appear below.
Arthroscopic hip surgery is $5575.
ACL repair $6990
Mastectomy $5500
Hysterectomy $8000
Circumcision $2000
Prices quoted include anesthesiology.
This approach is not for everyone but for those without insurance (and even if you have insurance) it is something to consider.
