Healthcare Cost Transparency and Affordability
At NorthBay Health, we know that understanding healthcare costs empowers our patients to make confident, informed decisions about their care. Our easy-to-use Cost Estimator tool is here for you to receive estimates for common hospital tests and procedures.
Use the tool to get an idea of your out-of-pocket expenses, with more accurate estimates if you provide your insurance details when prompted.
If you have questions, we're here for you every step of the way. We would be happy to walk you through the expected costs and how your insurance coverage, and deductible, may affect what you’ll need to pay. You can either call us at (707) 646-3490, or contact your insurance plan for a more detailed estimate of the out-of-pocket costs associated with various services.
Please note: we do not provide estimates for Emergency Department services.
Standard Charges
As of January 1, 2021, under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Price Transparency rule, NorthBay Health offers a comprehensive machine-readable file of our standard charges. This machine-readable file also has information on discounted cash prices and negotiated charges with our health plans. This helps patients make informed decisions about their care and possible costs.
