Although Westchester Medical Center’s primary service area is defined as the five counties of Westchester, Putnam, Orange, Rockland and Bronx, everyone in New York State who receives medically necessary services may be eligible for a discount if they meet certain income limits ( See Policy ).
It is the Policy of Westchester Medical Center, including MidHudson Regional Hospital, (collectively, “WMC”) to provide Financial Assistance in compliance with New York State.
The chargemaster (charge description master or CDM) is the list of all individual items and services maintained by a hospital for which the hospital has established a charge. A chargemaster rate represents the dollar amount assigned to specific medical services before application of any negotiated discounts to third-party payers. The actual hospital charges will vary based on the type of care provided, treatments, individual health conditions and other factors.
The chargemaster information, by itself, is not used to determine how much patients may need to pay, or to compare what a patient might owe a hospital. Your out-of-pocket costs will depend upon actual services that you receive, the hospital’s negotiated rates with your insurance plan and your insurance coverage.
For more information, please see any registration specialist or call 914.493.7830.
