Billing and Insurance
Price Transparency
The federal government requires each hospital to post on its website a list of its standard charges for items and services provided by the hospital.
- Hospital Standard Charges
- VMH Medical Clinic Waukon Standard Charges
- VMH Medical Clinic Postville Standard Charges
While the list of charges is the same for every patient, the charges may vary somewhat based on the patient’s medical condition, amount of time spent in surgery or recovery, any complications that arise that may require additional unanticipated procedures, medications needed, and length of hospital stay, etc. Your bill reflects your use of services during your hospital stay and the hospital’s charges at the time you were admitted.
Insurance plans differ. Your insurance plan may pay more or less than the average price listed on this site. Your hospital bill may differ from the average charges shown in these tables for those reasons listed above. Health plans such as Medicare, Medicaid, commercial health insurance, worker’s compensation, etc., do not pay charges. Instead, they pay a set price that has been predetermined or negotiated in advance. The patient only pays the out-of-pocket amounts set by the health plan, such as copays, coinsurance, and/or deductibles. A patient who has the specific insurance codes for services requested, available from their physician, can better gauge charge estimates across hospitals.
If you have questions directly related to the cost of services or your bill, please call Veterans Memorial Hospital at 563-568-3411 and ask to speak to one of our Financial Services Representatives. Information on health care charges for other Iowa hospitals can also be found on the Iowa Hospital Charges website.
