- If you want your insurance to cover your Pomerene Hospital physician and Pomerene services in 2019, make sure they are part of the plan you choose.
- Understand your monthly premium. This is your monthly contribution not covered by your insurance company.
- Understand what services are covered under your selected plan.
- Know up front any out-of-pocket costs. These are costs associated with care received, including copays, coinsurance and deductibles.

Chargemaster FAQ–A Chargemaster is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service item provided by a hospital. It includes every test, exams, surgical procedure, room charge, supply, etc. Given the many services provided by hospitals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a chargemaster contains thousands of services and related charges.
–Chargemaster amounts are almost never billed to a patient or received as payment by a hospital. The chargemaster amounts are billed to an insurance company, Medicare, or Medicaid and those insurers then apply their contracted rates to the services that are billed.
–Patients that do not have insurance, Pomerene Hospital has a financial assistance policy that applies discounts to the amounts charged. For more information on the Financial Assistance Policy, please contact our Financial Counselor at (330) 674-1584 ext. 1163.
