Machine Readable Files

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require hospitals to make a list of standard hospital charges public via the Internet. CMS defines “standard charge” to mean the regular rate established by the hospital for an item or service provided to a specific group of paying patients.

The files are updated annually. These files are in compliance with the pricing transparency requirements for machine-readable files prescribed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These requirements require hospitals to provide several different types of charging elements.

The comprehensive, machine-readable files below are posted to comply with federal regulations. Due to the nature of the files, they will likely be of limited utility to any specific patient. To best understand your estimated out-of-pocket costs, it’s important for you to understand your insurance plan benefits and coverage before seeking medical care. Any amount not covered by your plan becomes your financial responsibility or the responsibility of a guarantor (such as a parent of a minor child).

The standard charge information is not an estimate of your final out-of-pocket costs for services at Samaritan. For a patient estimate, you can create a self-generated estimate using our online tool or request an estimate by contacting a Financial Access Specialist at (509) 765-5606.
