Delivering high-value care while controlling healthcare costs is an important focus at Sutter Health. It’s important to us because it benefits our patients, their families, and the broader healthcare system.

Our affordability efforts are centered on finding efficiencies, reducing costs, enhancing the patient experience, and delivering the best possible outcomes.

Chargemaster and Common Services in Acute Care Settings

Sutter Health supports healthcare cost transparency to help consumers make informed decisions about their care.

• We post our hospital chargemaster list annually on our website.
• We provide access to a cost estimator tool for more than 200 frequently used medical services provided by Sutter physician organizations.
• We encourage consumers with health insurance to communicate with their insurance provider to better understand potential out-of-pocket costs when making care decisions.

As of January 1, 2021, Sutter is providing additional information under the new CMS Transparency rule as set forth by regulation, including: (1) a comprehensive machine-readable file of all services, including standard charges, the discounted cash price and the commercial and Medicare Advantage/Medi-Cal Managed Care negotiated rates; and (2) a display of 300 common, or ‘shoppable’, services in a consumer-friendly format and the associated average charge, discounted cash price and negotiated rates with commercial and Medicare Advantage / Medi-Cal Managed Care payers. Please note this data does not reflect out-of-pocket costs for insured patients. The data also does not reflect all of the discounts for which uninsured patients may be eligible.
