Ask for the cash / prompt-pay discount in writing, with the exact price, before you agree to anything.
Get it in writing that they won’t also bill your insurance, so the cash price is what you owe.
Check the MS-DRG code on your bill matches exactly: 871.

Insurance Before you use insurance

Call your insurance company to confirm PAM Specialty Hospital of Las Vegas is in-network.
Ask your insurer whether prior approval is required for MS-DRG code 871.
