Valley Health provides quality health care to residents of the Northern Shenandoah Valley region, while ensuring fair prices for services provided.

We believe everyone deserves the best health care at a reasonable price. With this said, we realize that no matter how reasonable our rates may be, there are many uninsured that are still unable to afford to pay for their care. To this end, we offer a number of financial assistance plans to aid our community in funding their health care needs, including free care for all who quality. Using this tool, you will be able to see the average charges for our top 25 inpatient admissions. The average charges are listed for Winchester Medical Center, Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, and Warren Memorial Hospital. These are also compared to the average charge for the same inpatient services in hospitals throughout Virginia.

The following inpatient information is arranged by diagnosis related groups or DRGs. DRG's are categories created by the Federal Government (Medicare) to help organize and bill for inpatient hospital stays. Please select the DRG you are interested in below to see the comparison of average charges.

Please note that the numbers in this table represent average charges based on all procedures for the year 2005. Individual charges can be lower or higher based on an individual patient’s medical condition.
