Before you go — your checklist at Christus Southern New Mexico

Ask for the cash / self-pay price — for shoppable services it’s often well below the list (chargemaster) price.
Get a written estimate with the billing codes (CPT/DRG) before you schedule.
Confirm the estimate covers everything — facility and physician fees.
Ask about financial assistance / charity care — non-profit hospitals are required to offer it.
Ask about a prompt-pay or uninsured discount if you’re paying yourself.
Compare the quote against nearby hospitals and the Medicare rate to judge if it’s fair.
