Question Number 7

Patients are contacting hospitals to proactively inquire about costs and fees prior to agreeing to service. The problem for hospitals in providing such information is:

a) That hospitals don't want to establish a price without knowing if the patient has insurance and how much reimbursement can be expected

b) The fact that charge master lists the total charge, not net charges that reflect charges after a payer's contractual adjustment

c) That hospitals don't want to be put in the position of "guaranteeing" price without having room for additional charges that may arise in the course of treatment

d) Their reluctance to share proprietary information

✔ Correct Answer:

b) The fact that charge master lists the total charge, not net charges that reflect charges after a payer's contractual adjustment
