How to pay less at St James Parish Hospital
- Ask for the cash / self-pay price — for shoppable services it’s often well below the list (chargemaster) price shown above.
- Get a written estimate with the billing codes (CPT/DRG) before you schedule, and confirm it covers everything (facility + physician fees).
- Ask about financial assistance / charity care — non-profit hospitals are required to offer it, and many cover patients well above the poverty line.
- Ask about a prompt-pay or uninsured discount if you’re paying yourself.
- Check the prices at nearby hospitals and use the Medicare benchmark to judge whether a quote is fair.
