Select Procedure to Audit:

Fair BaseRate™ $3,446

Medicare Rate $3,343

Self-Pay Cash $4,574

Insurer Median $4,574

1. Amount on Your Bill or Quote ($) Pre-filled with Riverbridge Specialty Hospital’s charged/list benchmark

2. Household Annual Income ($) Screened against 2026 HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines

3. Household Size (1–8) 2026 FPL: $15,650 + $5,500 per additional person

Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 274% of 2026 FPL

Above Standard 400% FPL Financial-Assistance Ceiling

At 274% FPL, you exceed the standard 400% FPL tier, though medical-hardship caps (when bills exceed 10% of annual income) may still apply.

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $1,524 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($4,574) Beats Your Bill

Riverbridge Specialty Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $4,574 (vs. $4,574 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$2,652 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $3,446 Fair BaseRate ($3,343 Medicare)

Your bill ($6,098) is $2,652 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($3,446) and 1.8× the $3,343 Medicare rate.
