The information provided is based on information we have gathered from contracts with managed care commercial insurance plans.  This is not a guarantee of what you will be charged. Your actual charges may differ from the estimated charges for many reasons, including the seriousness of your medical condition, actual time the procedure takes and the services and supplies that you receive.

The charges listed here are for services from the Hospital.  They do not reflect the charges for physicians (such as surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, etc.) who may be involved in providing particular services to a patient. These charges are billed separately from the individual physician/physicians group.

Coleman County Medical Center shall not be liable for any difference between charges listed in the price lists and the final bill for services.
