Price Estimation Tool
The link above leads to the machine-readable files that are made available in response to the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule and includes negotiated service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts between health plans and healthcare providers.
The machine readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data.
At Unity Medical Center, we are dedicated to providing our patients—and those considering our services—with a user-friendly online tool to help estimate their out-of-pocket costs for common medical procedures and tests. This tool calculates estimated hospital costs based on the chosen procedure and a patient’s insurance details. Additionally, it can be used to estimate costs for patients without health insurance coverage.
​
We know healthcare expenses can be complex, and we want our patients to have a clear understanding of potential costs. Beyond using our online estimation tool, we invite patients to contact us directly at 931-450-1117. Our Patient Financial Care team is available to help explain costs and billing information.
​
Please note that the online tool provides only an estimate and does not guarantee the final costs. We encourage you to carefully review the disclaimers before using the tool.
List of Standard Charges
In compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Price Transparency regulations, Unity provides a list of standard charges in a machine-readable format. The public may view these requirements at the following CMS webpage: cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency.
​
The charges posted on our website are accurate, with applicable disclaimers, as of the dates indicated within the files. CMS requires hospitals to update annually. Therefore, the posted files may not reflect ongoing additions and changes.
​
The listed charge for a hospital service is not equivalent to the actual amount paid by governmental or commercial insurance companies. Accordingly, each patient’s financial responsibility may vary. The amount a patient pays is based on many factors, including health insurance providers, specific benefit plans and other applicable discounts, as well as the services provided based on each patient’s unique needs.
​
Unity reviews its hospital charges annually to ensure they accurately reflect the high-quality care we seek to provide. In some cases, our charges are different from other providers when we offer a differing level of care or unique clinical expertise. Overall, Unity works with patients, providers and partners to lower the cost of care through wellness programs, disease management and quality care.
Disclosure Notice Against Surprise Billing
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care — like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.”
​
If you think you’ve received an unexpected “surprise balance bill,” read the entire Surprise Billing Disclosure Notice. You can also use the following resources to assist you with your case.
