Which American Samoa hospitals offer charity care?
Every voluntary non-profit hospital in American Samoa is required by Section 501(r) of the IRS code to offer financial assistance to patients meeting income criteria. The 0 non-profit hospitals listed below all fall in this category. Each hospital's specific Financial Assistance Policy is on its billing webpage; eligibility is typically tied to a multiple of the Federal Poverty Level.
How are these prices determined?
The prices in the comparison table below come from federally-required Hospital Price Transparency machine-readable files (45 CFR §180.50), aggregated across all reporting hospitals in American Samoa. Hospital chargemaster prices are the gross billed amounts before any discounts or insurance contracts; median commercial is the typical insurer rate; Medicare allowed is the federally-set baseline. Real bills depend on the specific facility, payer, and service setting.
What's the difference between chargemaster and what I'll actually pay?
Chargemaster is the hospital's published gross price — rarely what anyone actually pays. Insured patients pay their plan's negotiated rate, which varies by plan and contract. Self-pay patients can often request the hospital's published self-pay or financial-assistance policy, or apply for charity care if the facility is a non-profit (ACA §501(r)). The chargemaster matters as the starting point for self-pay billing and the reference for some insurance contracts.
