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.
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 be added to the system throughout 2019.
Lab work is not included at this time.
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.
