Lake Health Beachwood Medical Center

25501 Chagrin Boulevard, Beachwood, OH 44122 · (216) 545-4800

Charges moderately above what care is paid for

For every $1 of care Medicare actually paid for here, Lake Health Beachwood Medical Center billed $4.89 in list charges. That gap does not change a Medicare patient's bill — but it is where an uninsured or out-of-network bill starts.

What this page cannot tell you

It is not your bill. These are averages across Medicare patients. What you pay depends on your insurance, your plan's negotiated rate and your own case.
It is not a quality rating. A hospital with a high markup may be excellent, and one with a low markup may not be. We checked: across every U.S. hospital, markup and the CMS quality star rating barely move together.
A charge is not a cost. Hospitals do not collect their list charges from insured patients. The number matters because it is the opening figure on an uninsured or out-of-network bill.
Ask for the real number. Every U.S. hospital must publish a machine-readable price file and give you a written good-faith estimate on request.
