Healthcare Costs
Shore Medical Center is dedicated to providing consumers with as much information as possible regarding potential healthcare costs. Accordingly, we have listed information on the insurers and products the hospital participates in as well as any exceptions.

This list may not be comprehensive. For example, specialty insurers such as workers' compensation and personal injury protection ("PIP") are not included because there are a number of different types of insurance products and we may not participate in all of them. If you do not see your plan listed on the website, we strongly recommend that you contact us or your health insurance plan to confirm whether your plan is in-network or out-of-network.

Pricing Transparency

Shore Medical Center is committed to providing our patients with the tools and resources needed to help them make important healthcare decisions regarding their costs of care.

Starting January 1, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented Hospital price transparency rules to help patients know the cost of a hospital item or service before receiving it. Shore Medical Center has provided (below) accessible pricing information for the items and services Shore provides in two ways:

1. A comprehensive machine-readable file of all items and services containing their gross charges, discounted cash prices, payer-specific negotiated charges, and de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges.
2. A price estimator that can be used to estimate your costs for a variety of services provided by Shore Medical Center. Please be aware that costs are an estimate based on the information supplied and are subject to change based on several factors. To check the exact costs, you should get in touch with your insurance provider.

The charge amounts posted in the files are in effect as of 5/1/2024.

Your patient responsibility or "out-of-pocket" costs for the services and care provided is not determined by the standard charges loaded in the files. Instead, these costs are driven by the agreed upon rate which your insurance company pays the hospital for the services provided, and the co-pay, coinsurance or deductible that is required by your insurance benefit plan.

The best way to understand your cost for a specific hospital service is to work with your insurer and our Patient Financial Services and Insurance Verification staff. They can review your personal situation to give you the most accurate estimate, which can vary based on: the complexity of your treatment plan, the insurer, the length of time you spend in the hospital, any additional tests or procedures needed, and any other unforeseen conditions or circumstances which may arise during your care or recovery.

Patients without insurance may also be eligible for financial assistance or charity care. If you are uninsured, please call our Financial Counseling Department at 609-653-3717, option 1 for assistance or to request an in-person appointment.  Our Patient Financial Services Department can be reached at 609-653-3717 from 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM.

Plans In Which We Participate Below is a list of the insurance plans in which Shore Medical Center participates. It is also important that you contact your insurance company prior to receiving services or care at Shore Medical Center. Each plan is different and some provide different levels of coverage that could make a difference in your out-of-pocket costs. It is always best to contact your insurance company to obtain more information.

In addition, the Physicians who provide care within our hospital might not participate in the same insurance plans as the hospital. You should check with the physician who is arranging your healthcare services to see which insurance plans the physician participates in. You should also know that these healthcare professional(s) costs are not included in the facility's charges. They will be billed separately by the physicians.

Please keep in mind that regardless of the type of insurance plan you have, you must comply with your carrier’s requirements.

Once you have been discharged, the hospital’s charges for services will be stated on a uniform bill. This bill pertains to the cost of services and supplies rendered during your stay, but does not include the professional services provided by private or hospital-based physicians.

While Shore Medical Center may be considered a participating provider (PAR) with your insurance carrier, the physicians who provide care within our hospital might not participate in the same insurance plans as the hospital. In addition, you should check with the physician who is arranging your healthcare services to see which insurance plans the physician participates in. This also applies to any service provided by an anesthesiologist, cardiologist, pathologist or radiologist. You should also know that these healthcare professional(s)' costs are not included in the facility's charges. They will be billed separately. Pre-certification is the patient's responsibility.

You should also know that these healthcare professionals' costs are never included in the facility's charges, they will bill you separately.
