CHRISTUS Pricing Section
Hospital charges and the amount a patient is expected to pay can be very different because each case and each patient is unique, some requiring more or different care during the same procedure. Quality health care responds to individual needs, and CHRISTUS Health is committed to providing the highest quality care for each patient.
Determining Your Out-of-Pocket Costs
Many factors affect hospital charges and the amount of those charges you are expected to pay. One of those factors is how your hospital care is paid for.
Your cost may differ if you:
- purchase commercial insurance yourself or receive it through your employer;
- have government-sponsored insurance like Medicare, Medicaid, Texas Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Louisiana Children's Health Insurance Program (LaChip), USFHP, or TRICARE;
- or are uninsured.
