Price transparency and determining the cost of your care.
At NMC, we see price transparency as an obligation that serves our community well. Everyone has the right to choose where they receive medical care and pricing can be an important consideration. As you explore your options, we hope you will find that our combination of respected providers, focus on quality, commitment to access, and competitive pricing makes NMC the right choice for you.
PLEASE NOTE: All services with a “0” listed indicates that pricing varies reflective of market value at the time of service. Please contact our billing team and we will provide you with more information. Phone: 802-524-1048 Email: [email protected]
We provide several resources to help understand your care needs and provide an estimate of what your care will cost. Our goal is to help you better understand your insurance coverage and the deductibles, co-pays, and balances you are responsible for. Please keep in mind that with insurance coverages and government regulations frequently changing, as well as variables associated with your treatment, it can be difficult to predict the exact procedure cost.

During the cost estimating process, our team will work with you to understand your individual and family insurance benefits and provide the most accurate cost to you based on your coverage. Please have the following information available when getting your estimate:
- Description of Services or Current Procedural Technology (CPT) Code: Many surgery and procedure names sound similar. It’s helpful to provide the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code, which you can find on your physician’s order. If you cannot provide the CPT code, contact your physician's office for the CPT or a detailed description of the services.
- Inpatient vs. Outpatient Status: Your status as inpatient (a patient who stays in the hospital while under treatment) or outpatient (patient who receives medical treatment without being admitted to a hospital) may affect how you are billed, what your insurance will cover, and what you will owe for out-of-pocket.
- Insurance Information: The amount your insurance will cover varies depending on your insurance company’s benefits and your specific health plan policy. Please have the following insurance plan information available so we can better serve you:
- Member ID number
- Group number
- Policyholder's name
- Insurance company’s name
- Insurance company phone number
- Type of plan (HMO, POS, PPO, Indemnity)
