We know that health care costs add up quickly. We provide financial assistance so you can pay for the medical care you need.

Knowing how much your medical care will cost before you visit a doctor can help you plan for upcoming health care needs. We offer several different ways to estimate the cost of care at Lakeview Hospital and HealthPartners Clinic Stillwater.

Call the Know Your Cost team

Our Know Your Cost team members are here to help you understand the costs of different procedures. All you have to do is answer questions about the services you need. Then they’ll walk you through information about surgeries, imaging tests, lab work and other treatment options. Remember, this is just a cost estimate. Actual charges may be different based on the services you need.

Use our online patient estimate tool for hospital cost information

You can use our online patient estimate tool to get a cost estimate and learn about how much you’ll likely pay out-of-pocket.

See a list of standard hospital charges

The federal government requires each hospital to post its standard charges reflecting each inpatient and outpatient service and items provided by the hospital.

Our standard charges may be far different than the amounts you are expected to pay. Lakeview Hospital has negotiated varying discounts with Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans. We can help you figure out how much you’ll have to pay if you call our business office at 1-844-977-2678. They can help you work with your insurance company to understand your actual out-of-pocket costs.
