Our Commitment to Pricing Transparency:

We understand that it is important for consumers to have healthcare pricing information available to them. Therefore, we are making information available to our patients so that they can better anticipate their financial responsibilities and make an informed healthcare choice.

Pricing transparency is a term that is used to describe initiatives in the healthcare industry to provide meaningful pricing information to consumers. Even though the charges are the same for all patients, pricing healthcare services is often complex for most patients to navigate and understand. Samaritan Hospital is committed to providing exceptional, personalized care to all who receive our services.

The link below will direct you to a listing of all current charges for medical services rendered at Samaritan Hospital.

To receive an estimate of your patient financial responsibility prior to service based on your individual insurance plan, please feel free to call our Patient Accounts Department at 660-395-8618 or 660-395-8623 between the hours of 8:00 a.m.– 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday.

CHC's security team worked around the clock with several top security experts to address the matter and understand what happened.  CHC has not identified evidence this incident spread beyond CHC.  Samaritan Hospital utilized CHC to process patient claims prior to 2/21/202, but no longer uses this company.
