The tables below provide charges and negotiated rates for Regional One Health, Regional One Health Extended Care Hospital, Regional One Health Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital, Regional One Health Skilled Subacute Care, and UT Regional One Physicians (UTROP).

The tables are updated annually and are based on the patient charges actually incurred for these services during the previous twelve months of our fiscal year. They may be used by patients to estimate charges they may incur for services as well as their expected discount based on current negotiated rates with third party payors.

Please note that these are only estimates and are subject to change without notice as services are added or removed or negotiated rates change.  Drugs, implants, and supply charges are based on acquisition costs so the charge could be different each time we purchase new items.  Also, the charge for your services may be higher or lower based on factors specific to your case. Total charges often vary based on how long it takes to perform a procedure, your recovery time, medications, complications, and other health conditions present at the time of service.

Patient Out-of-Pocket Expenses

For patients with insurance, out-of-pocket costs can include deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for covered services plus all costs for services that aren’t covered under your insurance plan.

Insured Patient Responsibility Amounts:

Deductible
A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay for healthcare costs every year before your health insurance coverage begins to cover the cost of your care. Depending on your insurance plan, you can have either an individual or a family deductible.
Copayment or Copay
This is flat fee your health insurance requires you to pay for a designated health service.
Coinsurance
The cost-sharing amount that you owe based on your health plan’s negotiated rate. You and your health insurance company each pay a percentage of your covered medical costs, after you have paid your annual deductible amount.
Maximum out-of-pocket
This is the most you have to pay for healthcare costs in a year. After you spend this amount on deductibles, copayments and coinsurance, your health insurance pays 100% of your medical costs. The maximum out-of-pocket limit doesn’t include your monthly premiums.

If you have insurance the most accurate way to determine what your out-of-pocket expenses will be is to contact your insurance company. Links to some of our in-network Payor Partner Patient Portals are below:

Inpatient Hospital Care in which the patients remain under constant care

Payment category used to classify patients for the purpose of reimbursing hospitals for each case in a given category with a fixed fee regardless of the actual cost incurred. The primary APC represents the highest weighted (most complex) procedure performed. The charges listed include all services (surgical procedures, supplies, drug costs, etc.) performed on the date of service.

The average charge amount is calculated by adding the total hospital charges for all patients in the last 12 months who obtained a specific outpatient test or procedure. This total number is then divided by the number of patients in that same category.

The average charge per day amount is calculated by adding all of the hospital charges for all patients in the last 12 months who obtained a service. This total number is then dived by the length of stay for the patients in the same category.

CPT® is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association (“AMA”). Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are numbers assigned to services and procedures performed for patients by medical practitioners. The codes are part of a uniform system maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA) and used by medical providers, facilities and insurers. Each code number is unique and refers to a written description of a specific medical service or procedure. CPT codes are often used on medical bills to identify the charge for each service and procedure billed by a provider to you and/or your insurer. Most CPT codes are very specific in nature. For example, the CPT code for a fifteen-minute office visit is different from the CPT code for a thirty-minute office visit.
