All-in range = facility cash price + professional (doctor) fee range. “from file” = 10th–90th percentile of the professional rates this hospital posts in its own price file. “ESTIMATE” = no professional rates in the hospital file; range is roughly Medicare’s physician fee for Minnesota up to 3×, not this hospital’s bill. Facility price = hospital-fee rows only (no “professional” billing class, no modifier 26; where a hospital labels every row professional, the technical/global non-26 rate is used). Re-extracted Oct 30, 2026. Anesthesia, pathology, and contrast are not in this table; for colonoscopy see the statewide colonoscopy page, which adds anesthesia (ESTIMATE) and pathology (only if a biopsy is taken, FROM FILE or ESTIMATE). Your actual bill depends on your plan and the physician group — ask for a Good Faith Estimate. How we estimate
Safety card
CMS often does not publish overall star ratings for critical access hospitals because of low patient volumes. No substitute score is shown.
Price-posting grade is a draft heuristic: A = cash for 6 of 6 tracked services, B = 4–5, C = fewer. This file: 5 of 6.
Patient reviews
We don’t host reviews. Check Google or the hospital directly.
