What is a hospital chargemaster?
La lista de cargos de un hospital es una lista exhaustiva de todos los servicios y artículos facturables prestados por un hospital. La lista de cargos incluye los cargos de cada procedimiento, servicio, suministro, medicamento con receta y prueba diagnóstica realizada en el hospital. Nuestros hospitales funcionan 24 horas al día, siete días a la semana, por lo que una lista de cargos puede contener miles de servicios y cargos relacionados.
Chargemaster amounts are almost never billed to a patient or received as payment by a hospital. The chargemaster amounts are billed to an insurance company, Medicare, or MassHealth. These payers then apply their reimbursement terms or contracted rates to the services that are billed. If a patient co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible is owed, these too are most often not based on chargemaster amounts but rather the payment terms determined by the insurer or government program.

*En la facturación hospitalaria, la palabra "cargo" se utiliza para identificar el precio global que cobra un hospital por sus servicios. La "tabla de tarifas" de un hospital proporciona una lista completa de todos los servicios y artículos facturables prestados por el hospital, y detalla los cargos por cada procedimiento, servicio, suministro, medicamento recetado y prueba diagnóstica prestados en un centro hospitalario autorizado.
Your health plan can also help you to understand your insurance coverage, which charges will be covered, how much you will be billed, information on deductibles and your expected out-of-pocket responsibility. See our Chargemaster Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
