How to Dispute a Bill from Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent

Last updated: 2026-02-20

ASCENSION MEDICAL GROUP ST. VINCENT currently shows a billing grade of C with an average markup around 3.5x versus Medicare reference rates. In currently loaded benchmark samples, this is below the national average (9.2x). Use that benchmark when asking billing to review line items and justify large gaps. If you are self-pay or high-deductible, still request the cash/self-pay schedule in writing. If no discount is offered, ask for a supervisor review, payment-plan options, and item-level justification. Before paying, scan your bill with BillKarma to identify line-item issues and generate a dispute packet.

How we grade this hospital

BillKarma calculates billing grades by comparing each hospital's gross charges to the 2026 Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) rate for the same CPT codes. We download and parse each hospital's CMS-mandated price transparency file, match procedure codes to Medicare benchmarks, calculate a markup ratio for each matched procedure, and average those ratios across all matched procedures to produce the hospital's overall markup.

Grade thresholds: A = 2.0x Medicare or less · B = 2.1x–3.0x · C = 3.1x–5.0x · D = 5.1x–8.0x · F = More than 8.0x Medicare

Data sources: CMS Hospital Price Transparency files (updated annually), CMS OPPS 2026 Final Rule, CMS Hospital Compare (star ratings). Grades are recalculated when hospitals post updated price files. Last file parse date is shown above.
