How to Dispute a Bill from Avera St. Benedict Health Center

Last updated: 2026-02-18

Avera St. Benedict Health Center currently shows a billing grade of F with an average markup around 37.5x versus Medicare reference rates. In currently loaded benchmark samples, this is above the national average (8.3x). 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.
