Nora schulte was barely five days old and not even five pounds when her parents allowed me to visit them at the nicu at Mercy Medical center in cedar rapids. They chose this hospital because of family history. My sisters had their kids here, i was born here. We never really considered another place, laugh. Emily says because of her insurance, she had no incentive to do a cost comparison. I have a 500 deductible so and i dont ever consider pricing. Every year, all hospitals in the state submit their prices for various services to the iowa hospital association, which allows you to compare those prices on its website. I found that a healthy baby delivery at mercy costs an average of 342 dollars more than st. Lukes, 403 dollars more than uihc and 12hundred85 dollars more than mercy iowa city. Keep in mind, these hospital prices dont include physician or other professional you ultimately end up paying. Medicare, medicaid or other commercial insurers, they have a rate that they pay for specific procedures that are done in the hospital.

And he had no regrets when i showed him that a Knee Replacement at mercy iowa city costs an average of 16thousand dollar more than nearby uihc. If you would have known that, would it have made a difference . In my case, no, because the care that you received there from day one it was worth the extra bucks to my Insurance Company the care that i got. Patients do put a lot of emphasis on the the hospitals. Uihc, for example, has a wall full of Quality Metrics posted in the Administration Building for everyone to see. It also has seven specialties ranked among the top 50 nationally by us news and world report.

Fisher says in most cases, quality is in iowa its almost useless because so few of the patients in the state of iowa are not covered by insurance. Patients are much more concerned with how am i going to feel, whats my recovery time, if i have pain who do i talk to.
