South Georgia Medical Center Inc. d/b/a SGMC Health (“SGMC Health”) is dedicated to compliance with applicable laws and supports its patients’ ability to know the cost of a hospital item or service before receiving it. SGMC Health has dedicated significant resources to analyze the thousands of different services and items that it provides including all costs, charges and payer negotiated rates. SGMC Health is creating an easily readable listing of the items and services that we provide to include the charges, the pricing based upon negotiated payer agreements and the minimum and maximum amounts of SGMC Health’s reimbursement from third party payers. We are also including the price that you may pay if you do not have insurance and are considered a self-pay patient. Included on our website is the initial listing of services, a display of shoppable services, a consumer pricing tool and additional information regarding payer rates. This extensive process of reviewing all of this information is a continuous process and SGMC Health will update this information as additional information and descriptions are identified and validated. Payer and data inquiries should be directed to the VP of Revenue Cycle, Patient Financial Services, at 229-259-4749.
