Patient Financial Services Billing & Insurance

List of Billable Items

The Charge Description Master (CDM), or Chargemaster, is a listing of items that could be billed to a patient, payer, or health care provider. The most current Chargemaster can be found on the State of California Department of HealthCare Access and Information (HCAI) website.

Price Transparency

CMS, through its Price Transparency Rule, requires that hospitals make public standard charges. In compliance with the rule, we are making available the following:

• A price estimator tool with shoppable services that allows consumers to estimate the amount they will be obligated to pay when receiving shoppable services.
• A Machine-Readable File with gross charges, discounted cash prices, payer-specific negotiated charges, and de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges.

Shoppable Services

English
The prices for services are based on typical visits, and not intended to be representative of the services that may be required for every visit. The actual price a patient is responsible for may be higher or lower based on the actual services provided and a patient may receive separate estimates for professional services from SFGH Medical Group.

En español
Los precios por servicios se basan en visitas típicas y no tienen como fin ser representativos de los servicios que pueden requerirse para cada visita. El precio real que un paciente puede tener que pagar puede ser más alto o más bajo según los servicios que se hayan prestado, y un paciente puede recibir estimaciones por separado de servicios profesionales por parte de SFGH Medical Group.

用中文（表达
服務收費是根據典型就診情況釐定，並不代表每次就診時可能需要其他服務的費用。根據提供的實際服務，患者需負責支付的實際費用可能會較高或較低，患者亦可能會因專業服務而收到三藩市總醫院醫療集團 (SFGH Medical Group) 發出的獨立估價單。

trong tiếng Việt
Giá cho các dịch vụ dựa trên các lần thăm khám thông thường và không nhằm mục đích đại diện cho các dịch vụ có thể được yêu cầu cho mỗi lần thăm khám. Giá thực tế mà bệnh nhân phải trả có thể cao hơn hoặc thấp hơn dựa trên các dịch vụ thực tế được cung cấp và bệnh nhân có thể nhận được các ước tính riêng cho các dịch vụ chuyên môn từ SFGH Medical Group.

Sa Filipino
Ang mga presyo ng mga serbisyo ay nakabatay sa mga karaniwang pagbisita, at hindi naglalayong irepresenta ang mga serbisyong maaaring kailanganin para sa bawat pagbisita. Ang aktuwal na presyong dapat sagutin ng pasyente ay maaaring mas mataas o mas mababa batay sa mga aktuwal na serbisyong ibibigay, at puwedeng makatanggap ang isang pasyente ng mga hiwalay na estimate para sa mga propesyonal na serbisyo mula sa SFGH Medical Group.

На русском
Указанные цены на услуги рассчитаны на основе типового приема, и не ожидается, что они будут соответствовать обслуживанию, которое может потребоваться на каждом приеме. Фактическая сумма, подлежащая оплате пациентом, может быть выше или ниже, в зависимости от оказанных услуг. Также пациент может получить отдельные оценки на профессиональные услуги медицинской группы SFGH.

Machine-Readable File of Standard Charges

This is a machine-readable file that contains a hospital’s gross charges and payer-specific negotiated charges, plus discounted cash prices, the de-identified minimum negotiated charge, and the de-identified maximum negotiated charge for all items and services provided by the hospital.

Call 628-206-8448 for more information.

Payer’s Bill of Rights

The State of California established the Payer’s Bill of Rights which requires that each hospital:

• Make a copy of its CDM (Chargemaster) available on its website.
• Have available by request a list of the 20 most common procedures or services and five room and bed rates.

In compliance with California law, the Zuckerberg San Francisco General chargemaster is available above.
