Price Estimates
You can request an estimate for your upcoming procedure by contacting our Patient Accounting Department at 402.372.4004 or by clicking HERE to create an online self-estimate. When requesting an estimate, please provide as much detail as possible about the procedure you are planning. While patients with similar conditions often have comparable charges, individual care needs —and costs— can differ.
Some of the factors that may make the total charge for your service higher or lower than the average patient include:
- How long you stay in the hospital
- The length of time spent in surgery and recovery
- Any supplies and medications
- The lab and radiology tests that are ordered by your physician
- Whether there are any complications that require additional treatment
- Other conditions you may have in addition to what you are being treated for that may affect your treatment plan
Please note that this estimate includes hospital charges only. You may receive separate bills from physicians or other healthcare providers involved in your care. Examples include:
- The surgeon performing your procedure
- A radiologist interpreting imaging studies
- Outside laboratories performing specialized tests
Your out-of-pocket cost will also depend on your insurance coverage and benefit structure. While hospital charges are consistent for all patients, your financial responsibility may vary based on your insurance plan, including negotiated rates, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid also follow specific reimbursement guidelines.
Additionally, it is important to confirm whether the hospital and your providers are in your insurance network. Receiving care form out-of-network providers may result in higher out-of-pocket costs. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify network participation before receiving services.
