Select Procedure to Audit:

Fair BaseRate™ $3,629

Medicare Rate $3,658

Self-Pay Cash $2,147

Insurer Median $1,503

1. Amount on Your Bill or Quote ($) Pre-filled with Riverland Medical Center’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 $2,147 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($2,147) Beats Your Bill

Riverland Medical Center's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $2,147 (vs. $1,503 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$665 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $3,629 Fair BaseRate ($3,658 Medicare)

Your bill ($4,294) is $665 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($3,629) and 1.2× the $3,658 Medicare rate.
