Hospital Price Transparency

Ballinger Memorial Hospital District is committed to helping patients understand the cost of their healthcare and make informed decisions about their services.

In accordance with federal hospital price transparency requirements, BMHD provides pricing information in two formats:

Standard Charges

The Machine-Readable File contains BMHD’s standard charges for hospital items and services, including gross charges, discounted cash prices and payer-specific negotiated charges. This file is designed primarily for use by researchers, insurers and computer systems and may be difficult for patients to interpret.

Shoppable Services

Shoppable services are healthcare services that can generally be scheduled in advance, such as certain laboratory tests, imaging exams and outpatient procedures. This consumer-friendly information allows patients to review standard charges for commonly scheduled services.

Understanding Your Estimated Cost

The prices provided on this page are estimates and may not represent the amount you will owe. A patient’s actual cost depends on several factors, including:

The services, tests, medications and supplies required

The patient’s insurance plan and benefits

Deductibles, copayments and coinsurance

Whether BMHD and the provider are in the insurance plan’s network

The patient’s eligibility for financial assistance

Services provided by physicians or other professionals who may bill separately

Hospital charges do not always include fees from physicians, radiologists, pathologists or other independent providers involved in your care.

For the most accurate estimate of your out-of-pocket responsibility, please contact your insurance company and BMHD before receiving a scheduled service. An estimate is not a guarantee of the final amount billed.
