What is an estimated average charge?
The estimated average charge is an approximate calculation of the total hospital charges for a specific inpatient or outpatient procedure at MVH. As required by law, the hospital’s web site lists the mean charge and median charge for the most common inpatient and outpatient procedures. Usual and customary charges for other diagnostic and treatment services are also listed. The estimated charges are meant only as an approximation. They are not intended as a quote. The estimated charges do not include physician fees from your surgeon, anesthesiologist, emergency specialist, pathologist, radiologist, or other physicians who may help with your care. They will bill you separately for their services. Please contact those offices directly for charge information.
