Please see the latest updates on how Magruder is handling COVID-19 Schedule Booster Now X Inpatient & Outpatient Charges The information provided here is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service or item provided by a hospital, also known as a chargemaster. It is a helpful tool for patients to comparison shop between hospitals or to estimate what health care services are going to cost. Most patients are more interested in what their exact services are going to cost them personally, after their insurance has considered the charges, and applied the benefits in their insurance policy. Magruder staff is available to provide you with a customized estimate for your services, as well as working with you to meet the financial costs of your healthcare. If your healthcare provider has ordered services for you, please contact our financial assistance representatives at 419-732-4004. View Standard Charges Estimate Your Cost of Care Transparency about the cost of health care is important. You can find several resources here to help understand and compare the costs of care, as well as our Price Estimator. Estimate Your Cost Chargemaster FAQ Expand All Collapse All What is a Chargemaster? A chargemaster is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service or item provided by a hospital – each test, exam, surgical procedure, room charge, etc. Given the many services provided by hospitals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a chargemaster contains thousands of services and related charges. Chargemaster amounts are almost never received as payment by a hospital. The chargemaster amounts are billed to an insurance company, Medicare, or Medicaid, and those insurers then apply their contracted discounts to the services that are billed. In situations where a patient does not have insurance, our hospital has financial assistance policies that apply discounts to the amounts charged for those who qualify. We have very competitive package prices for patients who want to pay at the time of service, and self pay discounts for patients who pay within our prompt payment period. For more information on our financial assistance policies, please call 419-732-4004. Health insurance companies contract with hospitals to care for their customers. Hospitals are paid the insurance company’s contract rate, which generally is significantly less than the amount listed on the chargemaster. The insurance company’s contract rate, not the chargemaster, is the basis for determining the patient’s actual out of pocket costs. As an example, a hospital may charge $1,000 for a particular service, while the insurer’s contract rate may be $700. If the patient’s insurance plan indicates the patient is responsible for 20 percent of the contract rate, the patient would owe $140 ($700 x 20 percent). For more information, please call 419-732-4004. Are charges the same for every patient? Is the charge the same as what a patient pays? What is not included in the chargemaster list?

DOWNLOAD THE PRICING LIST About Our Pharmacy Pricing The pharmaceutical pricing included here is primarily for hospital based services and may differ from the outpatient retail pharmacy site at Magruder. Please call our outpatient pharmacy for clarification. Pharmaceutical and Biological pricing in general is calculated based on continuously changing current market prices. Pharmaceutical care is dose and disease state specific and drug therapy is very patient specific. Prices are highly variable due to drug shortages and changes in average wholesale price. Drug prices have historically been increasing. These prices do not guarantee the availability or insurance coverage for a particular medication. Some medication prices do not include professional fees, cost to mix and administer drugs or other oddities which make comparison shopping dramatically different from retail pharmacy.
