Price estimator tools

People are often confused by their medical bills and how much their health insurance will cover. Northwell Health makes the process easier to understand and gives you a range of options for paying your bills. We understand that price transparency is especially important for uninsured patients and others who are paying for their medical care out-of-pocket, including those with high-deductible insurance plans.

Since 2010, Northwell has been offering online services that help our patients get an estimate of their costs for medical services in advance, learn whether they are eligible for financial assistance or other publicly subsidized insurance, and find resources to set up convenient, affordable payment plans to pay their medical bills for those who qualify.

We offer two ways to estimate your out of pocket costs.

• For services provided at the majority of Northwell Health hospitals and/or physician practices, you can call and speak to our financial health advisors.
• You can also utilize the self-service estimator tool below to get out-of-pocket costs for common procedures at our hospitals.

Remember, estimates are not a guarantee of the final bill. Each patient’s medical condition is unique and circumstances may arise that affect the course of your planned care.

Our advisors can answer your questions and give you the most accurate information about estimated costs for services provided at the majority of Northwell Health hospitals and/or physician practices, as well as financial assistance information and personalized financial solutions available, tailored specifically to your circumstances.

To reach an advisor, please call (877) 483-2213.

Price estimates for some of our facilities are best obtained through the phone numbers listed below:

You will be leaving the Northwell Health website to generate this estimate using the Experian tool.

Please note: At this time, the tool provides an estimate for hospital fees only. Professional fees (such as those billed by a physician, nurse practitioner, radiologist, anesthesiologist or pathologist) are not included and will be billed separately. Estimates also include an approximate value for additional items that may be required (such as blood products or implantable devices) based on historical average costs.

Chargemaster

Northwell Health is committed to being transparent about its charges. The information provided in the file below contains a listing of our charges for inpatient and outpatient services provided by our hospitals, also known as our chargemaster. The chargemaster is not a useful tool for accurately understanding what patients and insurers pay for care. Rather it is a comprehensive listing of items of billable services. Each patient and episode of care is unique and charges for your care and out-of-pocket expenses will depend on: the actual services you receive, which charges are bundled together, the terms of your insurance coverage, and/or your eligibility for financial assistance.

If you need an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs, Northwell has a new cutting-edge price estimator tool that provides consumers with precise out-of-pocket cost estimates based on their personalized health plan benefits. We encourage you to utilize this consumer-friendly tool and/or take advantage of speaking with one of our certified financial counselors ((877) 483-2213) so we can better meet your financial needs.

The chargemaster machine-readable file for each Northwell owned hospital is listed below and available for download.
