Cost Estimates
Atrium Health is committed to empowering patients, in partnership with their care team, to make informed decisions about their healthcare. This includes helping patients understand the cost of their care, as well as financial assistance that may be available. We're pleased to offer patients a tool to estimate their out-of-pocket hospital costs for common medical procedures and tests. This online tool calculates the estimated out-of-pocket hospital costs based on the selected procedure and a patient’s insurance information. The tool can also be utilized to estimate hospital costs for patients that do not have insurance coverage.
We can help you calculate out-of-pocket costs for many hospital services. One of our financial navigators will ask you about the medical procedure and your health insurance, along with the procedure code (you can get this code from your physician). Then, we will provide you with an estimate of your patient financial responsibility, as well as payment options.
Call 704-355-0900 Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to speak with one of our financial navigators.
