The hospitals of Texas Health Resources provide discounted pricing to uninsured patients who do not quality for charity assistance.
The discount is equal to 30 percent of the estimated gross charges for anticipated hospital services. It is automatically applied at the time of billing to all accounts designated as "self-pay" when charity assistance criteria are not met.
Patients without medical insurance, or those whose plan coverage does not pay for an anticipated hospital service, qualify for the uninsured discount. Whenever possible, financial counseling and discounted pricing will be discussed with patients prior to admission or before discharge from the hospital.
The Texas Health uninsured discount applies only to hospital charges. Charges for physician professional services provided while a patient is hospitalized, or charges by other providers for non-hospital services, are not covered by the Texas Health discount pricing policy.
Contact the Texas Health business office for answers to questions about a discount for the uninsured.
