About the Medicare star rating

CMS (the federal Medicare agency) gives many hospitals an overall rating from 1 to 5 stars, based on measures of mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience and timely care. It is one piece of information: ask your doctor what matters for your care. See the full Medicare profile →

Prices

Every US hospital must publish its standard charges in a file that follows a federal (CMS) format. Below are 5 common services exactly as Alvarado Parkway Institute Behavioral Health Syste… lists them in its file. This is not a quote: what you pay depends on your insurance and plan, the doctors involved and the care you actually receive. Prices change: ask the hospital for an estimate before you schedule care (if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you have the right to a written “good faith estimate”). In a medical emergency, call 911.

What the prices mean

Hospital charge: The hospital’s list price (“gross charge”) before any discount or insurance. Few people pay this amount.
Cash price: The price the hospital offers if you pay yourself, without insurance (“discounted cash price”).
Insurance rates: The lowest and highest amounts the hospital has agreed with any insurance plan for the service (“de-identified minimum and maximum”), and some of the rates it lists by insurer and plan. Your share depends on your deductible, copay and coinsurance.
Hospital and doctor fees: A service can have a hospital (facility) fee and a separate doctor (professional) fee; the total for your care can include both, plus other services.

How to use hospital prices: estimates, financial assistance and your rights →

$ 43 amounts are marked with “!”: they are more than 100 times higher or lower than what other hospitals list for the same service, which usually means an error or a different unit in the hospital’s file. They are shown exactly as listed; ask the hospital before relying on them.
