Price Transparency

Price information for hospital-based services | Guidance for estimating out-of-pocket costs | Financial assistance

At Elizabethtown Community Hospital, we are committed to providing you with meaningful information to support your ability to make informed health care decisions for you and your family. The federal price transparency regulation requires hospitals across the United States to publish data on all of the charges for services we provide.

We know that you may have questions about the cost of your medical treatment. While the mandate requires us to post a considerable amount of data, we want to make sure that you are able to navigate this information with an understanding about what the numbers do – and do not – mean.

Please make sure to see the details at the bottom of this page about our financial assistance programs.

What information is posted as a result of the price transparency rule?

A file containing all standard charges for items and services we provide, including privately negotiated rates with contracted health insurers, discounted cash prices and gross charges, which are also known as list prices.

The data included in this file is subject to change and will be updated annually at a minimum. This price transparency information was last updated January 1, 2025.

A listing of 300 “shoppable services,” which are clinical services that you choose to have and that can be scheduled in advance. Of these, the same 70 will be included by every hospital providing this data. At Elizabethtown Community Hospital, we are using an estimator tool to provide this data to our patients.

What do I not learn through the posting of this data? 

  • While this data shows price, it does not show what you will actually pay for your care. This is because what you pay depends on your health insurance plan. Your health insurance company is a key partner in any discussion about your anticipated costs because they depend on the specific features of your plan, where you are in meeting your deductible and what type of cost-sharing you have for a particular procedure.

To get a true estimate of your out-of-pocket costs, please contact your health insurance provider by visiting their website or calling their customer service line.
