Knowing how much your medical care will cost before you visit a doctor can help you plan for upcoming health care needs. There are several different ways to estimate the cost of care. Here are some helpful resources.

Call our patient account representatives

Our patient account representatives are here to help you understand the costs of different procedures. You’ll talk with a real person and get a detailed estimate. All you have to do is answer questions about the services you need, then we’ll walk you through information about lab work, imaging tests, surgeries, 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 hospitals to post their standard charges reflecting each inpatient and outpatient service and item provided by the hospital. Our lists are available here:

Our standard charges may be far different than the amounts you are expected to pay. Westfields Hospital & Clinic 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 one of our financial counselors at 715-243-2600. They can help you work with your insurance company to understand your actual out-of-pocket costs.

See cost information on Wisconsin Price Point

Price Point is a website that allows you to access service cost information for the top 75 Inpatient and Outpatient procedures performed at Wisconsin Health Care Facilities, including Westfields Hospital & Clinic. Medical facilities report data to the WHA (Wisconsin Hospital Association) Information Center on a quarterly basis, making recent charge and pricing information available to consumers.

Check your insurance coverage

We aren’t able to tell you which services your insurance covers. If you aren’t sure about your insurance coverage, the best thing to do is call the number on the back of your insurance card.
