Patient Pricing Information

At Franklin County Memorial Hospital, we aim to provide high-quality care and the best possible hospital experience. We understand that medical costs can be confusing and overwhelming. To enhance transparency, we make our current standard charges available in compliance with the Affordable Care Act [Section 2719(e) of the Public Health Service Act].

While publishing a general listing of prices may not meet all consumer needs, it's important to understand that standard charges may not accurately estimate the costs you may incur. The actual amount paid by a patient will depend on insurance coverage, policy provisions, and other factors. Everyone’s case is different based on their medical condition.

For detailed pricing information, our financial counselors are available upon request. They can provide information about standard charges, help determine if you qualify for Federal and State assistance, and set up payment plans.

The displayed charges only include hospital charges and do not cover charges billed separately by your physician or other professional fees. Furthermore, the actual amount paid by a patient will depend on insurance coverage, as benefit plans vary greatly.

‍

If You Have Commercial Insurance:

• Contact your insurance company to understand all factors affecting your financial responsibility.
• Factors such as type of plan, co-pay, co-insurance, deductible, out-of-pocket maximums, provider network, and other limitations will affect your financial responsibility to a hospital.
• The prices reflected on this site do not include charges for physician or other professional fees, such as pharmacy, diagnostic imaging, or lab work.
• The prices do not include any negotiated discounts between your insurance company and the hospital.

‍

If You Have Medicare:

• Medicare has many different parts, and not everyone has the same type of coverage. Medicare will pay for many of your healthcare expenses but not all of them.
• Special rules apply if you have employer group health insurance coverage through your job or a spouse’s job.
• If you have a supplemental health insurance policy, it may cover some costs that Medicare does not cover.
• For specific coverage details, call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit www.mymedicare.gov.

‍

If You Have Medicaid:

• Contact the Mississippi Division of Medicaid at 1-800-421-2408 to understand all factors affecting your financial responsibility.
• Generally, Medicaid recipients are not responsible for any portion of the bill.

‍

If You Are Uninsured:

• Please contact our Patient Financial Services Department at 1-601-384-2273 to ask about our payment policies and determine if you meet the criteria for financial assistance.
