We encourage patients to find out as much as they can about the cost of their care before coming to the hospital.

1. The price you pay for health care services depends on your insurance coverage. Talk with your insurance provider or a representative from Medicaid or Medicare to determine any deductibles, co-payments or other out-of-pocket costs.
2. If you don’t have any health insurance, or have limited coverage you may qualify for financial assistance. Please call (256) 801-6280 and speak to one of our patient account representatives.

The Huntsville Hospital Health System complies with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which requires all hospitals to post their standard charges online.

Please note that these listed dollar amounts are the gross standard charges to provide a particular service, supply, or drug. These amounts do not reflect what the hospital is paid or what patients will ultimately pay.

Actual hospital payments received for providing these services are set by either the government or by negotiations with private insurance companies. These payments are typically less than the standard charges of caring for our patients. 

Consumers will note that even in regions throughout Alabama, hospital standard charges vary. This is due to a variety of factors including negotiated payments, average wage index by geographic area, drug and supply costs contracts, and the amount of uncompensated care.
