      $499
      $188.19
      A bone study is a specialized X-ray examination of the skeleton used to determine bone density, bone age, bone length or other characteristics of the bone. The most common bone study procedure is the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry or DEXA scan. The DEXA scan measures bone mineral density and is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
    • Cardiovascular: Echocardiography ?
      54
      $1,544
      $1,354.14
      An echocardiograph, or echo, is a special type of ultrasound used to examine the heart. An echo uses sound waves to generate images of the heart to diagnose heart diseases and evaluate heart function. Echos can also be used to measure the volume of blood that is moving through the heart and blood vessels.
    • Cardiovascular: Electrocardiography ?
      131
      $123
      $170.80
      Electrocardiography, or ECG, is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart. In the standard ECG test, ten electrodes are placed on a patient's chest and limbs. The rhythm of the heartbeat is recorded as a graph of the voltage the heart produces as it beats. Doctors use the graph to evaluate problems with normal rhythm of the heart.
    • Cardiovascular: Mobile Heart Monitoring ?
      14
      $524
      $425.94
      Mobile heart monitoring is attaching a wearable, continuously monitoring electrocardiograph. Patients usually wear the mobile heart monitor for 24 or 48 hours. It detects heart issues that occur sporadically or randomly.
    • CT scan with contrast: Abdomen/GI ?
      23
      $3,093
      $996.10
      A computerized tomography scan (CT scan) is a specialized way of creating images by taking multiple X-rays from many different angles around the body. A computer combines all the images together into cross-sectional views of the body. The paid amounts featured are for CT scans of the abdominal and pelvic region and mostly include examinations of the digestive system. These scans include injection of a contrast material to highlight body structures.
    • Mammography ?

    • MRI: Extremities ?
      31
      $1,793
      $709.10
      A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a method of imaging the body using magnetic fields and radio waves. While CT scans rely on x-rays to create images, MRIs record the radio frequencies emitted from body tissue when surrounded by a strong magnetic field. The paid amounts are for MRI scans of the arms and legs. These scans do not include a contrast material.
    • MRI: Spine ?
      32
      $2,210
      $835.27
      A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a method of imaging the body using magnetic fields and radio waves.

    • Nuclear Medicine: Cardiovascular ?
      11
      $2,913
      $2,335.91
      Nuclear medicine is a method of imaging and diagnosing diseases by using radioactive substances. A very mildly radioactive substance is injected into the body part in question and special cameras track the progress of the substance through the body. The listed paid amounts are for nuclear medicine examinations of the cardiovascular system and heart. Nuclear medicine examinations of the heart are used to diagnose coronary artery disease.
    • Nuclear Medicine: GI ?
      11
      $1,720
      $1,201.87
      Nuclear medicine is a method of imaging and diagnosing diseases by using radioactive substances. A very mildly radioactive substance is injected into the body part in question and special cameras track the progress of the substance through the body. The listed paid amounts are for nuclear medicine examinations of the digestive system. Liverscans and gallbladder scans are the most common digestive system nuclear medicine examinations.
    • Ultrasound ?
      155
      $478
      $343.38
      An ultrasound, or sonography, is a method of creating images using sound waves. A device emits sound at an extremely high frequency and then records the sound waves as they reflect off structures in the body. A computer interprets those sound waves and creates an image. Ultrasounds listed here do not include specialized ultrasounds such as echocardiographs or fetus examinations as it relates to pregnancy
    • X-ray: Abdomen/GI ?
      45
      $193
      $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.

  • Heart Attack

    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.

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.

$270,489
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 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.
