About Banner Payson Medical Center Pricing

What this means for your bill
If you're uninsured, out-of-network, or have a high-deductible plan, these prices directly affect what you pay. If you have in-network insurance, your insurer has likely negotiated much lower rates — but you may still owe a percentage of the hospital's high list price for your coinsurance or deductible.
Can I negotiate?
Yes. Most hospitals will reduce bills when patients present evidence. Our bill checker compares your specific charges to fair-price benchmarks and generates a dispute letter you can send to the billing department.
