Prices
This hospital publishes prices, but not comparable rates for the procedures this page compares. The comparison is built from a fixed set of common admissions and outpatient services — knee replacements, MRIs, mammograms and the like — so hospitals can be lined up against each other. Smaller and specialist hospitals frequently do not provide them, and so publish nothing for them.

From Georgia Regional Hosp Savannah's Medicare cost report for the year ending 30 June 2024.
These are department-wide totals for a year, not the cost of any one procedure. A hospital's costs include its staff, its equipment, and its share of the building and administration. This does not tell you what you will be charged, and it does not tell you what you will owe — see how these figures are produced.

Financial assistance
This is a government-owned hospital. It isn't bound by the federal nonprofit rule (IRC 501(r)), but many public hospitals have their own charity-care obligations under state or local law.
Open this hospital’s website →Nonprofit hospitals must post their financial assistance policy publicly, but they file it in different places. Search the site for “financial assistance,” “charity care” or “patient financial services,” and ask the billing office to send you the policy and the application if you cannot find them.
Could you qualify?
Hospital financial assistance is almost always based on your household income compared with the federal poverty level. This works out roughly where you fall. What you type stays in your browser — it is never sent to us or to anyone else.
- Call the billing office and say: “I’d like to apply for your financial assistance policy.” Ask them to send you the application and their income limits.
- Apply even if the bill is months old. Nonprofit hospitals must accept financial assistance applications for at least 240 days after your first bill — that is a legal minimum, not a deadline, and many hospitals accept them later, including after a bill has gone to collections. Ask rather than assume you have missed it.
- Ask whether your bill already reflects assistance. It often isn’t applied automatically, even for patients who would qualify.
- For care you haven’t had yet, if you’re uninsured or paying cash, ask for a Good Faith Estimate in writing before you schedule. Federal law entitles you to one, and if the final bill lands more than $400 above it you can dispute the difference — see how the No Surprises Act works.
- If you don’t qualify for a discount, ask about an interest-free payment plan — those are usually available regardless of income.
