F Price transparency: 0 of 58 common services carry a self-pay price

This hospital's file carries no self-pay price

The file St Alexius Medical Center publishes contains the discounted-cash column federal rules require, and it is empty for every one of the 495640 rows we read. That is a statement about the file, not about the hospital: it may still quote a self-pay price by phone, through an estimate tool, or under a financial assistance policy. Where the file does carry negotiated rates, those are shown below so the page is still useful.
