USE OF INFORMATION If I am a non-patient or third-party, I acknowledge that I am aware and further acknowledge that if I, or my organization, republish, post online, or otherwise re-communicate this information to another party and hold out these standard charges as the sole determining factor in establishing payer cost or patient out-of-pocket responsibility, without providing the context and limitations described above, I risk misleading the consumers regarding such information due to the limitations detailed in this disclaimer. If the use of the information is intended to aid a payer or patient in determining actual cost or patient out-of-pocket responsibility, I acknowledge that this intent is most accurately and effectively achieved by recommending that such individuals contact their insurer or SHOLA’s Patient Financial Services at (225) 768-2761.
PRICING DISCLAIMER This machine-readable pricing file does NOT contain patient’s out-of-pocket cost information; patients are encouraged to use the online patient estimation tool to estimate out-of-pocket costs specific to a medical service. This file identifies an individual item/service charge and the contracted rate negotiated between the payer and provider for the single item/service. If NA is listed for an item/service for a payer or the discounted cash charge, the contracted rates negotiated between the payer and provider were either not found within the payer contract, are bundled with other services, or reimbursed using a different code set. Contracts are often complex, and the rates contained in this file may not reflect actual negotiated rates or final charges once services are rendered. The information is not an estimate of out-of-pocket costs nor a guarantee of payment or benefits for healthcare services.
