Stanton County Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $10,131 (vs. $7,171 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Negotiate Toward $8,223 Fair BaseRate ($5,676 Medicare)

Your bill ($10,131) is $1,908 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($8,223) and 1.8× the $5,676 Medicare rate.
