Pricing Transparency

The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring health care facilities to annually publish a list of standard charges. The items listed in the cost estimator are Shenandoah Medical Center’s charges as of 1/1/2021. If you would like a more accurate estimate of costs, Shenandoah Medical Center recommends patients call our billing office to speak with one of our financial counselors.

Please feel free to contact our billing office at (712)-246-7201 with any questions or concerns.

Iowa Hospital Charges Compare

Iowa Hospital Charges Compare allows health care consumers to access basic information about services and charges at Iowa hospitals. Information provided on the website is based on hospital “charges.”

A hospital “charge” is not the same as an “expected payment.” “Charge” is the amount billed for a service. In the vast majority of cases, hospitals are paid considerably less than the billed amount. Because each person’s medical condition is unique, a given patient’s charge will not necessarily be the same as the average or median charge. Furthermore, the actual amount paid by a patient will depend on that patient’s insurance coverage.

Iowa Hospital Charges Compare should be considered a starting point for comparing costs of care between Iowa hospitals. Patients should contact individual hospitals to get further details about the possible cost of their care. As of March 2019, Shenandoah Medical Center is able to provide an estimate for services rendered in the hospital setting. Patients should also talk with their insurance provider to understand which costs will be covered, and which will be the patient’s responsibility.

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
