Palomar Health has engaged a third party to assist in coordinating its adoption of 45 CFR Part 180, CMS-1717-F2, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services hospital price transparency rule (the “Rule”) requiring certain healthcare providers to disclose their pricing to patients for a number of standard provider service offerings.
This Palomar Health consumer shoppable tool (the "Tool") provides cost estimates for services listed within the Tool. The Tool uses actual prior service charges billed by Palomar Health to provide an estimate for the same to future patients.
Please note, the estimate for any service provided is limited to disclosure of Palomar Health standard charges for that particular service. As a result, any seen or unforeseen support service expenses, or expense change based on location or other reason, for any service estimate sought, may not be accurately reflected in the estimate query response provided by the Tool.
As such, Palomar Health makes no guarantee of any kind regarding Tool results. Actual service and care expenses vary pursuant to a number of factors that may not be properly considered in any particular query. Further, Tool user error in selecting an appropriate query may similarly lead to inaccurate results.
The results of any Tool query are your property and not subject to retention by Palomar Health . Except as related to your ownership of results from Tool queries initiated by you, and that Tool is designed for compliance with the Rule, Palomar Health and any third party it is working with make no other warranties regarding the same.
As such, Palomar Health , its officers, directors, employees, agents, and all third-parties it is working with to adopt the Rule, disclaim all warranties not listed above, whether statutory, express or implied, including but not limited to, any implied warranties, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, specific outcome, validity, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Palomar Health or its vendors, suppliers or other third parties it is working with be liable for any direct, consequential, incidental, special, punitive or other damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to any claim regarding (i) the Tool, (ii) the results of any Tool query, or (iii) any other claim related to a service price estimate whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise.
If there are questions regarding the result of any Tool query, you agree to discuss it with Palomar Health prior to receiving any service.
