Price Transparency
As of January 1, 2019, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all hospitals to publish their standard charges and shoppable services online.
Motion Picture and Television Fund (MPTF) Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. Center for Behavioral Health (CBH) provides inpatient psychiatric care based on a per diem facility rate -a fixed daily amount an insurance payer agrees to pay a hospital for each day of inpatient care. It does not provide emergency room services, outpatient services or other acute medical care.
Because charges at inpatient psychiatric facilities are bundled (grouped together) and not scheduled individually, our shoppable services are limited to our facility’s standard room and board rate.
