Horizon Health provides patients with up-front cost estimates and opportunities for discounts on many hospital-based services. This transparency provides pricing information before the service is performed.
Patient right to receive a good faith estimate
Patient protections against surprise billing
Cost estimates are currently available for most hospital-based testing and procedures scheduled in advance (see below). This is made possible through partnership with Availity, a national software company that evaluates each patient’s individual insurance plan to estimate his/her out-of-pocket responsibility.
Additional services will continue to be added to the system.
Please note that cost estimates are not available for pain management procedures.
With this estimation program, Horizon Health offers financial discounts up to 30 percent.
Note that this new service will modify the registration process. Patient Services staff will now ask for co-pays, past balances, and projected patient responsibility amounts at the time of scheduling and/or time of service.
