Pricing
Each CentraCare hospital and clinic uses standard prices for services, so that all patients receiving care at a particular hospital or clinic are charged the same amount for services. Estimates are built from these standard service prices.
Estimates also incorporate the terms of your insurance coverage or self-pay status to determine the contractual amount owed to CentraCare, as well as your out-of-pocket costs for copays and deductibles.
For more information, insured patients can contact their health insurance providers to learn about their coverage and benefits. Uninsured patients can refer to our information regarding estimates.
