    • Arthrography ?
      11
      $2,800
      $1,869.55
      Arthrography is a method of imaging the inside of a joint. A dye is injected into a joint, highlighting areas of soft tissue and fluid. This injection is usually performed with a local anesthetic and with additional imaging to guide the needle placement. It is most commonly performed on the shoulder to diagnose fine damage to the rotator cuff muscles, but is also done on the hip, knee, ankle and elbow. After the injection, x-ray, MRI or CT images are collected. Arthrography is separated from other imaging because the injection procedure is performed in the operating room.
    • Carpal Tunnel ?
      11
      $3,483
      $4,160.65
      Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure to correct carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when nerves that travel through the wrist become compressed, resulting in pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers. Surgery is performed to release ligaments in the wrist that are placing pressure on the nerves that pass through the wrist.
    • Colonoscopy ?
      207
      $2,179
      $2,377.34
      A colonoscopy is an examination of the large intestine using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the body and used to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. It is most commonly performed to screen for cancer.
    • Cystoscopy Lithotripsy ?
      11
      $15,135
      $9,245.06
      Cystoscopy Lithotripsy is a procedure to remove stones from the urinary tract. These stones can become lodged in the bladder, kidney, or in the connecting ducts. A doctor inserts a specialized scope called a cystoscope into the urinary tract to locate the stone, which is then typically destroyed with a laser.
    • Gallbladder ?
      12
      $11,075
      $10,921.25
      Gallbladder surgery is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is most commonly due to the presence of hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder known as gall stones. Like appendectomies, gallbladder surgery is most often performed as a laparoscopic surgery.
    • Hernia Repair ?
      11
      $11,997
      $8,448.12
      Hernia surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia in the body. A hernia is created when an organ pushes through the wall of the body cavity that normally holds it in place. Hernias most commonly occur in the abdomen, with portions of the bowel pushing through the muscle wall.
    • Shoulder Arthroscopy ?
      10
      $15,170
      $11,608.57
      Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure to fix damaged ligaments, tendons and muscles in the shoulder joint.

Rotator cuff damage and shoulder impingement are the most common reasons for shoulder arthroscope surgery.
    • Upper Endoscopy ?
      28
      $2,786
      $2,710.05
      An upper endoscopy is a surgical examination of the stomach or small intestines using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the mouth or nose and down the throat to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. An upperendoscopy is performed in the inpatient setting when a patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.

      $148.00
      An x-ray is a method of imaging the body by exposing it to a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. Special undeveloped film is placed behind the body part that is to be imaged. The x-ray machine then emits radiation toward the body and film, causing the film to develop. More dense areas of the body — such as bones — absorb or block more of the radiation, causing those areas of the film to be more underdeveloped, thus creating a detailed image of the bones. The paid amounts featured are for x-rays of the abdominal and pelvic area.

      $1,142
      $809.40
      Treatment devices are special materials used to alter the radiation beam entering the body. Two devices are blocks and bolus. Blocks are metal alloys either shielding or redirecting the radiation beam in a certain direction. A bolus is special absorbent material weakening the radiation beam and allowing for a more shallow delivery of the radiation. Masks and molds may be used to help immobilize the patient to insure accurate delivery of the radiation. These treatment devices must be custom made for the patient.

    Show/Hide Overview
    A heart attack (also called AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These measures show some of the process of care provided, if appropriate for most adults who have had a heart attack. The outpatient Heart Attack or Chest Pain measures apply to patients transferred to an acute care facility for a higher level of care. For more information, click on the column headings.

The termination of the granting of lodging in the hospital and the formal release of the patient (includes patients admitted and discharged the same day). When a mother and her newborn are discharged at the same time, they count as one discharge. When the baby stays beyond the mother’s discharge (boarder baby), it counts as one discharge for the mother and one discharge for the boarder baby. This includes acute care and discharges from Distinct Part Units (DPU). It excludes swing-bed and long-term care discharges.

A patient day is the unit of measure denoting lodging provided and services rendered to inpatients between the census taking hours (usually at midnight) of two successive days. A patient formally admitted who is discharged or dies on the same day is counted as one patient day, regardless of the number of hours the patient occupies a hospital bed. For patients switched from observation to inpatient status, the patient day count should begin on the day the patient was officially admitted as an inpatient. Includes acute care days from Distinct Part Units (DPU). This excludes swing-bed, long-term care and newborn days.

2018
$4,798,784
The dollar amount of free care, based on a hospital’s full established rates, provided to patients who are determined by the hospital to be unable to pay their bill. The determination of a patient’s ability to pay is based on the hospital’s charity care policy. Hospitals will typically determine a patient’s inability to pay by examining a variety of factors such as individual and family income, assets, employment status or availability of alternative sources of funds. Determination of charity care status is made prior to admission if the patient has requested and applied for financial assistance. Charity care status may be granted at a later date depending on the circumstances of the admission, such as an emergency admission, no request for financial assistance prior to admission, or lack of information about the patient’s financial status at the time of admission. Financial assistance provided by the hospital may pertain to all or a portion of the patient’s bill.
Bad Debt ?

Bad debt is the unpaid obligation for care, based on a hospital’s full established rates, for patients who are unwilling to pay their bill. Unlike charity care, bad debt arises in situations where the patient has either not requested financial assistance or does not qualify for financial assistance. In these cases the hospital will generate a bill for services provided. For uninsured patients, the amount of bad debt can pertain to all or any portion of the bill that is not paid. For patients with insurance, certain amounts that are the patient’s responsibility – such as deductibles and coinsurance – are expensed as bad debt if not paid.
